Soprano Andrea Zomorodian will join a four-part viol consort to explore the rich sound world of the English Renaissance. Perfect for an intimate library setting, this program invites audiences into the realm of “private musick” for the English chamber, featuring everything from intricate and daring instrumental fantasies to intimate polyphonic consort songs.
The concert will take place in the South Pasadena Library’s Community Room. Tickets are available at the door for $25 or online for $26.
Tesserae is an LA-based period instrument ensemble specializing in historically informed performances of 16th-, 17th-, and 18th-century music. Formed in 2010, Tesserae delves into some of the most beautiful repertoire of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, from intimate chamber music to large-scale orchestral works.
Soprano Andrea Zomorodian, originally from Seattle, is known for her work in oratorio, early music, and studio singing. She has earned acclaim for her warm tone, expressive delivery, and ethereal high notes.
The concert season runs through May 10, 2026, and features many talented ensembles and musicians. Season tickets, which cover all 8 concerts, are available for $160, saving concertgoers $40 compared to purchasing individual tickets at the door.
