On Sunday, November 15, Museum Concerts continues to celebrate its 60th anniversary with a performance by the New York-based period-instrument ensemble A Golden Wire.
In Renaissance England, a cultivated person was expected to be musically literate, often both vocally and instrumentally. Some households owned a “chest of viols”—a set of violas da gamba in different sizes—for making music at home.
Under the leadership of Parker Ramsay and Arnie Tanimoto, the widely acclaimed group will showcase the rich 17th-century repertory for three violas da gamba, organ, and harp, featuring works by Lawes, Jenkins, Ferrabosco, and Campion.
Arnie Tanimoto, Thomas Fields, Lucine Musaelian, viola da gambas; Parker Ramsay, harp and organ
Tickets available at the door or online. $30 General Admission; $10 Students and Low Income
