A performance of principally secular songs from the 16th to the 21st Centuries will be performed by Early Music Hawaii Chamber Singers at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity on Lako Street in Kailua-Kona.
The performance is directed by Jeremy Wong, a baritone and a University of Hawaii lecturer in music, with Kathy Crosier, on organ and piano. Eight singers from Oahu, some with Kona connections, will help celebrate William Shakespeare on the 400th anniversary of his death in April 1616 with a selection of his best known songs set by his contemporaries Robert Johnson, Thomas Morley and others. The songs will then be paired with modern compositions by Ralph Vaughan-Williams, George Shearing and one of New York’s best known living composers, Matt Harris.
Tickets are $25; $10 for students with ID, and are available at the door or online at www.earlymusichawaii.com.
