"Kings and Commonwealth" with Folger Consort (Washington DC)


  • Folger Theatre 201 East Capitol Street Southeast Washington, DC, 20003 United States (map)

The music from the court of King James I reflects the political and religious upheavals in early seventeenth century England. The Folger Consort will perform political ballads of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, along with instrumental music from both James’ and Charles I’s courts and swaggering and silly political songs from Thomas D’Urfey’s Pills to Purge Melancholy.
