French Renaissance dance performance in LA June 24

French Renaissance Dance: What Makes It Great?
a SCEMS-sponsored event
(Southern California Early Music Society)

The Wessex Consort with Guild of St. George and Eldorado Danza
present a program of French Renaissance dance. Nine musicians of the
Wessex Consort (co-directed by Bruce Teter and John Robinson) will
play more than 15 French dances using a large instrumentarium of
Renaissance instruments, with percussion and singers.

Two costumed
dance troupes will perform: the court nobles of the Guild of St.
George (directed by Larry Hansen) and Eldorado Danza (directed by
Irene Ujda). Noted dance historian Dr. Emma Lewis Thomas will provide
insightful commentary on how the French developed dance as a form of
high culture during the Renaissance, forming the basis of their
undisputed status as masters of that art form in the Baroque.

Presented Sunday June 24 at 4PM, at the acoustically exciting Holy
Nativity Church in Westchester, 6700 West 83rd Street (near Sepulveda
and Manchester), Los Angeles, CA 90045
