From Byrd to Purcell and Beyond: Music for 2 to 16 viols

With musicians drawn from the BEMF Orchestra and Festival artists over the years, the BEMF Viol Collective, led by Christel  Thielmann, presents a richly varied program of musical gems guaranteed to touch the heart. Luxuriate in the lush timbres of the viol in beloved selections from the English viol consort repertoire: from noble pavans and lively dances to tuneful ballads with fanciful variations, soulful In nomines to whimsical fantasias, and playful dialogues to haunting harmonies—plus some festive polychoral pieces from across the Alps to top off this sonorous feast!
