Musick's Company is the resident performing
ensemble of the Center for Old Music in the New World. The composition
of the ensemble has varied over the years, but has always had at its
core a dedicated group of singers and instrumentalists, with the
occasional addition of special guest artists, all under the direction of
Donna Boyd.A Handefull of Christmas DelightsThe annual concert of seasonal music has become a Lexington tradition, playing to sellout crowds. The event is usually on a Monday night a week or so before Christmas. Watch the Early Music Events Calendar for upcoming performance dates. ItaliaAmong the highlights of the history of Musick's Company occurred in 1988 when we were invited to perform in a summer music series in the medieval hilltop city of Todi in central Italy. Featured was a program of secular religious songs from medieval Italy and Spain (laude and cantigas) as well as American hymn tunes from the shape-note repertoire. We were permitted to rehearse the laude of Jacapone da Todi, a well-known 13th century religious poet, in the church where his remains are entombed under the altar. Read more about our trip to Todi.
