Once upon a time, the shows at the Elizabethan Theatre at Oregon Shakespeare Festival were preceded by music and dance from the time of Shakespeare. The Green Show, as it is known, has changed up a bit in recent years.
But the Terra Nova Consort, in essence the "house band" for OSF, contributed quite a bit of music to the Green Show and to the plays of the festival, for nearly two decades. Now the entire discography of the group is being put online for the world to enjoy. Patricia O'Scannell, one of the founders of Terra Nova Consort, joins us with the story.
