The Montreal Consort is pleased to offer you, as a mother's day gift, a free will offering concert. The music from the renaissance Portugal is often overlooked in favor of the Spanish or Italian masters. The music of Manuel Cardoso and Estavao de Brito are quite similar in style to that of Palestrina and Marenzio, which makes us wonder why more of their music did not exist outside of Portugal... When you hear this music, you will walk away wondering why as well.
