    2009–2010 Penn Humanities Forum on Connections presents Parthenia, A Consort of Viols, with actor Paul Hecht and mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek.  In honor of Shakespeare’s birthday, the Forum celebrates the joyous links between English Renaissance poetry and music, with readings from Shakespeare and Donne by actor Paul Hecht, songs by mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, and viol music by Parthenia. Hailed by The New Yorker as “one of the brightest lights in New York’s early-music scene,” Parthenia presents this program of fantasias, consort songs, dances, and instrumental airs by William Byrd, Anthony Holborne, John Dowland, Tobias Hume, and Thomas Morley.
