With voices, winds, and strings, the Consort explored the contrast between the styles of Josquin, Ockeghem, Obrecht, and Compère through each composer's seasonal music. The Consort performed A Renaissance Christmas with viol and recorder, as well as accompanying winds, harp, lute, and vocal artists.
