St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral will host the KPBX Kids’ Concert: “Music of the Renaissance” on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The hour-long concert will feature the Kantorei Choir, conducted by cathedral music director Timothy Westerhaus, singing 16th-century sacred music composed for the Chapel Royal of Queens Mary and Elizabeth, guitarist Paul Grove, resident carillonneur Byrl Cinnamon, and Westerhaus on harpsichord.
The program is divided into three sections, including Music for Queens Mary and Elizabeth, Musical Romance in the Royal Court, and Courtly Jesting and Playful Madrigals.
St. John’s Cathedral also fits into the medieval gothic style in it use of glass and stone, much like many 14th and 15th century buildings. The cathedral lacks steel reinforcement.
The concert is free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the lots behind Lindaman’s Restaurant located on 13th Street and Grand Boulevard.
