Chaminade hosts ‘Orinda’ recital
"Orinda," a highly regarded early music trio featuring mezzo soprano Jennifer Lane, lutenist David Tayler and harpsichordist and recorder player Hanneke van Proosdij will perform a recital of love songs from the late 16th and early 17th centuries at Chaminade University tomorrow evening.
The recital will feature "airs de cour," a style of songwriting in which the principles of Greek poetry were applied to French, and the works of the English composer John Dowland and anonymous Scottish composers.
Lane, an island favorite, has been praised for her clear tone and sophisticated phrasing. Tayler and his wife van Proosdij are members of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra in the San Francisco Bay Area and many other groups. They have recorded widely as soloists and in ensemble.
The group is visiting from California this week for a series of workshops and performances. The free concert is at 7 p.m. at Mystical Rose Oratory on the Chaminade campus.
