Continuing a beloved tradition for the winter holidays, Folger Consort celebrates with festive music from Spain and Portugal. The performance will showcase the lush, many-voiced motets of 16th-century Portuguese composer Vicente Lusitano and lively 16th- and 17th-century villançicos (early Spanish Christmas carols). Plus, there will be holiday music by Lusitano’s contemporaries Cristobal de Morales and Adrian Willaert, along with songs celebrating the season with flashy dances and works for our ensemble that include lute, guitar, viols, winds, and voice.
