The Miseducation of Quaver: a natural history of a viol consort
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at St. Mark's Episcopal Church
(see times)
Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.
Barefoot is delighted to be able to present Quaver (Not Your Parents Viol Consort) playing a new program that celebrates ten years as an ensemble: The Miseducation of Quaver - a natural history of a viol consort. The program features some of its (and its audiences'!) favorite pieces, a selection drawn from the ensemble's eclectic, surprising, and tuneful repertoire including works by Byrd, Jenkins, Shostakovich, RATATAT, Purcell, and others.
It's hard to believe, but Quaver turns 10! And no, they haven't stopped pushing the limits of what viols will play. Their lush sound will grace pinnacles of the consort tradition, contemporary sonorities, and miniature gems of the renaissance. There will surely be a surprise or two, so come prepared for a wild ride.
There will, of course, be the usual Barefoot snax. The lovely wooden acoustic of the Parish Hall at St. Mark's will provide the perfect place for this concert.
