French Music for Multiple Viols
Hallifax & Jeffrey, with Marie Dalby and Josh Lee, viols, and John Lenti, theorbo
Our first concert of 2010 Barefoot features Hallifax & Jeffrey, the acclaimed Bay Area viol duo, in a special concert of French baroque music for multiple viols, with guest violists Marie Dalby and Josh Lee.
Couperin’s luscious quartet “La Sultane” and Corette’s rambunctious “Le Phenix” (for 4 bass viols) are the cornerstones of a rare musical treat. Other composers include Marais, Forqueray (pieces for 3 bass viols), and Ste. Colombe. Hallifax & Jeffrey are well known to Bay Area audiences, especially for their interpretations of Forqueray and Marais. Here, they are joined by rising stars Marie Dalby and Josh Lee, whoseviol playing has already won nationwide acclaim.
