About the event
Julie Elhard, viola da gamba
Sara Thompson, violone
Join Lyra Baroque Orchestra’s gambist and violone player for a guided tour of the instruments that shaped expressive string playing in the 17th and early 18th centuries. In a salon-style setting, guests will experience the origins, colors, and voices of these remarkable instruments much as listeners did centuries ago: up close, conversationally, and with a sense of shared discovery.
Wine and cheese served.
October 17 @ 2:00-4:00 p.m.
