Though often imagined as a primarily English ensemble, the viol consort had a rich history in France as another vehicle for that nation's characteristically colorful and expressive musical imagination. Our program will feature some wonderful examples of this gorgeous repertoire, from the intricate song settings for viols by Eustache Du Caurroy and singing polyphony by Etienne Moulinié to the majestic ensemble music of Charpentier and the Italian transplant Giovanni Battista Lulli, otherwise known as Lully.
Loren Ludwig & John Mark Rozendaal, treble viols Kivie Cahn-Lipman & James Waldo, tenor viols Zoe Weiss & Douglas Kelley, bass viols
A wine and cheese reception will follow the performance.
