03/24/12 The King’s Noyse & Piffaro The King’s Noyse & Piffaro in Kansas City, MO Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral United States
Add
Time: 8:00pm. Age restrictions: All Ages. Address: 13th and Broadway. Violin bands were the new upstarts in 16th-century Northern Italy, and many of the pieces they performed were considered avant-garde. King’s Noyse, America’s premier Renaissance violin band, brings to Kansas City some of these innovative works that ushered in the Baroque style of the 17th century. Piffaro, the world’s foremost Renaissance wind ensemble, adds its wind band sound to the mix– a style rooted in the venerable wind band history from the early 15th century. The result: a gorgeous reconstruction of the two groups merging in the courts of Ferrara’s nobles – a merging that eventually led to the modern orchestra. Ellen Hargis’s soprano voice will soar with the chromaticism and text painting that foreshadow the upcoming Baroque style. Composers Cipriano de Rore, Carlo Gesualdo, Luzzasco Luzzaschi and their forward-thinking compatriots will be featured.

Time: 7:15pm. Address: 75 S. 11th St.. BACDS’s Playford Ball, started in 1980 by Brad Foster, is one of BACDS’s earliest and most popular activities. While some communities have Playford Balls that limit themselves exclusively to dances that were published in John Playford and his descendents between 1650 and the late 1700s, ours covers dances written from 1650 to today. Starting in 2010, the Ball will be held at the historic San Jose Women’s Club building. The Playford Ball takes place in late March or early April. The Playford Ball, as well as the rehearsal dance the evening beforehand (starting in 2010, held at the Hill and Valley Club in Hayward)) and additional practice dances in the east bay, Peninsula, and Sierra Foothills, are organized by a large committee that devotes a great deal of effort to making the Ball a splendid event. As a result, Ball attendees are treated to marvelous decorations, excellent food, and exquisite music. Very little dance instruction is required at the Ball, in large part because the Ball program and dance directions are distributed to west coast callers the November prior to the Ball. Formal or festive attire is encouraged among ball attendees, with many attendees choosing to wear period costume (although hoops and panniers are discouraged due to space considerations) or outfits relating to the year’s theme. Attendance has been between 100-150 for the past several years; sizable contingents from southern California and the Pacific northwest, as well as attendees from New York, Boston, and Alaska, have been in regular attendance.
