How do you make a Royal Consort? Two violas da gamba paired in sumptuous counterpoint form a rich bass, dark, woody and mysterious. Let’s temper that with two baroque violins for some sweet, tuneful, plaintive melodiousness, and how about a theorbo for a hint of harmonic piquancy? This is truly an ensemble fit for a monarch, and we’ll be playing music that was intended precisely for those royal ears. A rich brocade of fantasies and dances by Francois Couperin, Henry Purcell, William Lawes, and Heinrich Schmelzer will delight and dazzle you, featuring Carrie alongside popular returning guests Ingrid Matthews, Joanna Blendulf, Sarah Stone, and John Lenti.
