About the Program
The Virtuoso Viol

Featuring works by Tobias Hume (1580–1645), Marin Marais (1656–1728), Johann Sebastien Bach (1685–1750), and others, The Virtuoso Viol is a grand European tour of virtuosic repertoire for the viol duo. Spanning nearly two centuries of music, this program takes listeners from 17th-century England, through Louis XIV’s France, and finally to the Rhine and musical world of Bach.

“Napper and Corriveau produce a wonderfully resonant sound, the phrasing keenly articulated. The German poet Goethe once described chamber musicians as ‘having a conversation’ and this is certainly the case with the intimate and intuitive approach taken by the two performers.”—the WholeNote

About Les Voix humaines Duo

Gamba virtuosi Mélisande Corriveau and Susie Napper have performed together in Les Voix humaines consort of viols for two decades. Celebrated soloists in their own right, this duo builds on decades of viol duo performances by Les Voix humaines’s founding members Susie Napper and Margaret Little.
