La Danza!
Sunday, 9/21/, 2 PM, MT
Get your fingers moving and feet tapping this season with a variety of festive dances and music from the Italian Renaissance. From balli, gagliardi, canzoni, capriccii, and more, we'll delve into the popular tunes of the 16th- and 17th-century Italy. Denver RS's Music Director Jennifer Carpenter leads the opening session of the 2025-26 season.
Masques and Revels
Sunday, 10/19, 2 PM, MT
English Renaissance and early Baroque theaters were filled with music, both within the plays and between the acts. With selections that blur the lines between the stage and the salon, we'll explore music that entertained the masses from Henry VIII, Morley, Adson, and others. Experience the mischievous and charming nature of music fit for Shakespeare and other popular masques and revels. Led by Denver RS's Music Director, Jennifer Carpenter.
The Temperamental Musician
Sunday, 11/16, 2 PM, MT
Musicians are rarely accused of being single minded! We are often asked to create differing yet compelling imagery or affects through music. Rooted in ancient Greek philosophy the four temperaments - sanguine, melancholic, choleric, and phlegmatic - are associated with a distinct set of characteristics that we still recognize as a mixture of our own personality traits. Join Denver RS's Music Director Jennifer Carpenter as we bring to life music that represents each of the four temparaments.
Member-Led Session
Sunday, 12/21, 2 PM, MT
The Denver Recorder Society's December Playing Session will be a member-led session where we'll come together to play music chosen by various members of our society. Join us for a jolly good time playing music that is favored by your fellow recorder players!
