Subject: The Fyre and Lightning Consort - Farewell Concert
Date and time: May 6, 7-9 pm
Venue: Plainfield Opera House

Fyre & Lightning will be performing its final concert on May 6, 2023 at 7 pm in the Plainfield Opera House. The program will include Medieval and traditional music of Galicia, the Flemish Renaissance, and Scotland and Ireland, including a number of tunes by the blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan.

The Fyre & Lightning Consort, founded in 1974 (!), is a trio of Central Vermont musicians (Ellie Hayes, Kathy Light & Steven Light) dedicated to the study and performance of Medieval and Renaissance music. Throughout the years they have become increasingly interested in traditional music of the British Isles and the Sephardic Jewish song collections, and have recently added to their repertoire music from the Galician region of Northern Spain.

Fyre & Lightning performs on a large collection of instruments, including lute, vielle, harp, hurdy-gurdy, recorders, whistle, bagpipes, cornemuse and bass. Their lively and interesting approach has delighted audiences over the years, and now they are announcing their culminating concert as founding members Steven and Kathy Light are preparing to move to Minneapolis.
