San Francisco Renaissance Voices (Todd Jolly, Music Director) presents "The Bawdy & The Chaste", the final concert in their year of music from the Italian Renaissance. This concert features Missa Sicut lilium inter spinas (for 5 voices) by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c1525-1594) and the comic Festino nella sera del giovedì grasso, Op. 18 of Adriano Banchieri (1568-1634), originally composed as a pre-prandial entertainment for the Eve of Carnival Thursday. The Early Music/Celtic band Broceliande joins San Francisco Renaissance Voices along with actor Rick Homan as Adriano Banchieri to present the Festino as a semi-staged masque; as part of the performance one lucky audience member will be chosen to appear on-stage with San Francisco Renaissance Voices in a special (non-singing) guest role.
