Piffaro performs with Elm City Consort viols and soprano Sherezade Panthaki.
Featuring earlier musical settings of songs from Shakespeare’s plays, whose dates make it quite possible that these were the tunes sung at the first performances of “The Tempest,” “As You Like It,” and “Measure for Measure.” Music by Shakespeare’s contemporaries, including William Byrd, will also be performed alongside dances and popular tunes from the streets and pubs of Tudor England.
