The Department of Music hosts two alumni artists in a concert celebration of early British composers in Whitley Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
Sopranos Beth Packard Arnold and Kristine Hurst-Wajszczuk present songs and duets by Handel and Purcell; arias by Blow; and lute songs by Rosseter, Campion and Dowland. They will be joined by lutenist Laudon Schuett and Charles Hogan on the harpsichord.
Hurst-Wajszczuk’s CD of Dowland lute songs was released by Centaur in 2008, recently appeared with Bourbon Baroque, and is an alum of Early Music Vancouver’s “The Compleat Singer Programme.” Arnold has a wealth of early music experience, including New Trinity Baroque, American Handel Festival and Kentucky Baroque, whose inaugural concert was part of the fringe concert series for the Boston Early Music Festival.
