Celebrate the New Year with music from Elizabethan England!
Parthenia and soprano Sherezade Panthaki present a program of songs, dance suites, and fantasias to celebrate the conclusion of the 12 days of Christmas – Twelfth Night! They perform works by William Byrd (reputed to be Queen Elizabeth I’s favorite composer), Thomas Morley, John Bull, and Thomas Ravenscroft, as well as traditional carols, including the familiar “Greenseleeves.”
Parthenia is a quartet of “viols,” stringed instruments that were extremely popular in European music from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. The instruments blend together with a rich, resonant sound that will warm your spirit on a winter’s afternoon.

Start with a group of imaginative chamber musicians, add historic downtown Tulsa buildings, mix in some cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and voilà, a “progressive concert” party! The Akropolis Quintet* regularly appears in unconventional settings and they were eager to work with us to create a unique event for our anniversary season. We will move from lobby to lobby, enjoying architectural highlights in each, courtesy of the experts from the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture, and enjoy music by Akropolis at selected sites. *Oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone!
