Quaver Viol Consort: 'Hiding and Seeking: The Art of the (Subter)fugue'
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) is delighted to welcome the return of Quaver, the viol consort of the future past (Marie Dalby Szuts, Brady Lanier, Loren Ludwig, and Tobi Szuts, viols) playing their new program "Hiding and Seeking: The Art of the (Subter)fugue"
This program features a trove of music that will upend your expectation of what a viol consort can sound like. Quaver will juxtapose Renaissance masters such as Obrecht and Josquin with pop songs; English fantasias - the bread and butter of consort music - with Shostakovich's jazz-inspired works; and Bach's Art of the Fugue with an Astor Piazzolla tango. In the process, they'll sketch how imitative polyphony evolved from its more free beginnings into the rigor of a fugue, and how that form continued to inspire composers writing for "new" instruments such as the harmonium and the bandoneon. Not everything will be a fugue, but Quaver guarantees to open your ear holes.
