The Peabody Renaissance Ensemble will create an ingenious theatrical entertainment featuring Peabody alumna Mara Jaffee as young Madame Lucette, a teenage orphan trying to make her way in tumultuous 16^th century France. The PRE tells her story with a program of songs and dances from the French renaissance theater. The PRE is an ensemble of 22 Peabody students and community members who sing and play viols, recorders, lutes and early fiddles.  Directed by guest faculty member Tina Chancey and choral coach Adam Pearl, the ensemble will perform French renaissance music by Loyset Compère, Antoine de Févin, Pierre Attaingnant, and Clément Janequin.
