The Boston-based early-music ensemble SEVEN TIMES SALT performs on period instruments music the “Pilgrims” would have heard through their 1590s troubles, and during the challenges of 1620s Plimoth Colony–psalms, yes, but also dance and court tunes.
SEVEN TIMES SALT will follow, musically, the "Pilgrims," that diverse group of Separatists and Anglicans, religious zealots and not-so-religious opportunists, from their troubles in 1590s England, on to the Netherlands, and finally here: the challenges of 1620s Plimoth Colony. There is no better place on the Cape to hear such moving music, played on period instruments (viola da gamba, lute, recorder) and sung, than the acoustically-fine 1717 Meetinghouse, as the 1717 Meetinghouse Foundation continues to celebrate the 300th anniversary (1717-1719) of one of the earliest New England meetinghouses still in use. And the performance celebrates SEVEN TIMES SALT's recording in the Meetinghouse of this, its first program!
Suggested donation: $15.00; $10.00 for 1717 Foundation members, and students.
