Join the Early Music Society of Nova Scotia (EMSNS) to play and sing gorgeous Latin motets by Raffaella Aleotti, a virtuosa from the late Italian Renaissance.

The two motets will be “Angelus ad pastores ait” and “Audivi vocem.”
The workshop will be under the direction of lutenist Lucas Harris, Artistic Director of the Toronto Chamber Choir. The workshop is free to EMSNS members, and others are welcome by donation.
Singers of all voice types and players of all instruments are welcome . Participants in the January 18 workshop are urged to click on this link beforehand: the vocal score and parts.
