Early Music Festival to present baroque concert

PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend Salish Sea Early Music Festival will present “The Canzona 2025” at 2 p.m. Sunday.

The Baroque music concert will be at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 1020 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.

Admission is by a suggested donation of $20 to $30 per person.

The program will focus on the birth of the canzona, which was inspired by early 16th century chansons and evolved into the early 17th century baroque sonata.

Canzonas by Florentino Maschera, Floriano Canale, Giovanni Dominico Rognoni Taegio, Antonio Troilo, Giovanni Gabrieli (1608), Girolamo Frescobaldi, Giovanni Antonio Cangiasi, Giacomo Biumi, Nicolo Corradini and Giovanni Buonamente are on the program.

The concert also will include some of the earlier French and Flemish chansons that inspired the canzona, such as an instrumental version of Clement Jannequin’s “Song of the Birds” from 1577.

The concert will feature special guest renaissance specialist Tina Chancey, the director of Hesperus in Washington, D.C., playing the tenor viol.

Chancey will join Vicki Boeckman, on renaissance recorders; Jeffrey Cohan, on renaissance transverse flutes; and Anna Marsh, on the dulcian — a renaissance-era predecessor to the modern bassoon.

Future performances include “The Chaconne with Les Voix Humaines,” Feb. 23; “The Trio Sonata,” March 9; “European Tour 1690-1790,” April 6; “The Musique de la Chambre of Louis XIV,” May 4; “Concerti from the Court of Frederick the Great,” May 25; “Beethoven’s Flute, Viola and Guitar,” June 8; and “Johann Sebastian Bach,” July 13.
