Info:
Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.
The third of Barefoot's three contributions to this year's Berkeley Festival Fringe will be a program based around John Dowland's famous "Lachrimae or Seaven Teares figured in Seaven Passionate Pavans." The seven pavans are all elaborations on the most well-known of all Elizabethan pavans, which Dowland set to words as "Flow, my Tears." To maximize the emotional charge, we have chosen to supplement the seven pavans with 2 more pavans, "Sir Henry Umpton's Funeral" and the astonishing "Semper Dowland, semper dolens", along with some of Dowland's settings from the "Lamentations for Sir Henry Noel his Funeral Psalms" (1597). This is a program steeped in the Elizabethan love of extravagant melancholy.
The Barefoot All-Stars (Shira Kammen, violin Julie Jeffrey, Elisabeth Reed, Lynn Tetenbaum, Peter Hallifax, viols) are all well-known to Bay Area audiences, and are very pleased to be joined by John Lenti, lute, for this most solemn and gorgeous program in the perfect acoustic of St. Mark's Parish Hall.
