FIDDLE VIRTUOSITY from the Pubs of Old London (Chicago)

In 17th-century England, great composers loved to take inspiration from popular tavern songs and dance tunes. Virtuoso violinist Alan Choo and six friends invite you on a delightful romp through John Playford’s collections of fiddle variations, alongside music of Dowland, Eccles, and Purcell. A cozy winter program with lute, recorder, baroque & Celtic harp, and more!

“There is no question that Choo was absolutely in charge… as both soloist and ensemble leader, living in the moment.”
