A concert at the Acland Museum in Chapel Hill on March 4th. It was a perfect setting for this sweet-sounding gentle ensemble. The group consisted of a baroque violin - played by Molly Barnes, who also played the treble viol, and three basses played by Brent, Shaw Lentz and Alison Portnow Lathrop. The gentle Flemish harpsichord was played by Megan Eagen-Jones.
The programming was delightful too - Molly played beautifully two movements of Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre's Violin Sonata #6, the Allemande in A Major, and the Adagio in a minor. The ensemble also played beautifully three delightful Fantasias on the tune "Une Jeune Fillette" by Eustache du Carroy. Brent did an encore - his piece de resistance, Marais' "Gallbladder Operation". Those of the audience who were familiar with the piece loved it of course, but some of the visitors walking around were wondering what was going on. A player telling a story AND playing the instrument at the same time! |
