To commemorate the 650th anniversary of Petrarch's death and on the occasion of the acquisition by the Penn Libraries of a fifteenth-century manuscript, including his Canzoniere and Trionfi, we pay homage to the Italian poet with a concert of Renaissance vocal and instrumental music based on those two works. Music by Luca Marenzio, Cipriano de Rore, Orlando di Lasso, Bartolomeo Tromboncino, and others.

Pre-concert talk at 6:15 pm by Mauro Calcagno, Priscilla Herreid, and Grant Herreid.
