Here's what MB1800 has to say about the program:

"Celebrating the extraordinary expressive world of the viola da gamba, La Viole d’Or brings together masterpieces from the instrument’s golden age. At the French court, the gamba came to embody a world of elegance and refinement in the poetic music of Marin Marais, while Antoine Forqueray introduced a fiery virtuosity, wit, and dramatic intensity. Together, their music reveals an instrument of remarkable contrasts: intimate and grand, tender and intense, graceful and dazzling. Bach’s G-minor Sonata completes the picture, placing the gamba within the musical landscape of eighteenth-century Germany and revealing its affinity with the rhetorical and contrapuntal world of Bach. In the hands of Stephen Moran and Gabriel Smallwood, viol and harpsichord create a world of shimmering colors and golden light, bringing to life the many voices of this extraordinary instrument in its full splendor."

Tickets for this concert typically sell for $55, but we've got a limited number of seats for only $15 and up, so get yours before they fly!
