Just missed this concert... that's what I get for not looking up the current season (just ended!) of the SF Early Music Society.

—The Secret of the Muse—
Music for the Pardessus de Viole
Discover the intimate and clever music of the French Baroque for the rare pardessus de viole, a hybrid that blends violin and viola da gamba. While the viola da gamba first appeared around 1480 in Italy, the pardessus did not appear until the early 1700s in France, when it became a feature of the glory days of Versailles. Music that has not been heard since the time of Marie Antoinette will showcase the unique sonority of the pardessus.
