Renaissance dance instruction for you and your guests also available. We are based in the Boston area. For information, please contact us at bookings@quilisma.us or call 781-646-9645.

We are:

The program for Aspirations, our debut concert, is available online, with director's notes. Also available: the program for the shorter preview concert at King's Chapel and the poster for the shows.

The concept for our autumn 2006 program was The Hunt, a program of caccias, catches, fugues, and songs of pursuit.

Our most recent public performance was Music of Renaissance Flanders: Music from the 15th and 16th centuries by Flemish composers (including works of Josquin, Arcadelt, Susato, and others) with guest artist Tom Zajac on Sunday, 2 March 2008.

The next public performance will be ¡O Dulce Suspiro Mío!  Renaissance Music of Portugal and Spain (including works of Milan, Narvaez, and others) on Sunday, 5 October 2008 at the Loring-Greenough House.
