Cœur désolé
We are profoundly saddened to report the passing of Donna Boyd, founder and music director of the Center for Old Music, and our dear friend, on March 14. Donna was universally loved and admired by all who worked with her, by her many students, and by her many many good friends. What Donna created was not just a musical community, but also a family united in the celebration of all things beautiful. This is a serious blow to this very close-knit community of musicians and admirers, but we have pledged to carry on.
Memorial donations in her Donna's honor may be made to:
Center for Old Music in the New World

The Center for Old Music presents
Syng & Playe the Marvells of Maye:
in Memory of Donna Boyd
Saturday, May 19 at 8:00 PM
St. Michael's Episcopal Church
2025 Bellefonte Rd.
Tickets for this memorial concert are
by donation at the door.
Your generosity is appreciated!
This year’s spring program by Musick's Company features bittersweet sounds, both sacred and secular, vocal and instrumental, solemn and celebratory. We will perform music of Rossi, Josquin, and many other favorites. Our old friend Bob Reynierson returns with his mega-lutes (AKA theorbo and archlute), and Kim Heersche will be back to grace us with her oboe.
We are hoping all our friends who knew and appreciated all that Donna has done for these ensembles, for early music, and for the cultural life of us all, will come to celebrate the legacy she has left behind.
