In March 2019, the Met's ensemble-in-residence, Sonnambula, joined Piffaro for a program of dance music from Michael Praetorius' beloved collection, Terpsichore. It was the most popular concert of our season. Luckily, videographer Sharon Torello captured the event, and we are happy to offer you a one-hour "digital concert" on our YouTube channel. Piffaro's artistic directors Joan Kimball & Bob Wiemken and Sonnambula's Elizabeth Weinfield & Jude Ziliak will be on hand for a live chat.

The "Watch Party" begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 15 here! The concert will remain available to view through Sunday, May 17 (the chat is only on Friday).

We will miss sharing the live concert experience with you, but we hope this captures just a little of that spirit...and there is one advantage: no one will know if you throw yourself a dance party!

PLAYLIST: Lively 16th c. dances collected by Michael Praetorius, including the pavane, passameze, gaillarde, bransle, courante, volte, and more.
