Strings and Things

At 6 p.m., this Saturday, Apr. 25, William Busta Gallery hosts a very special performance by Les Délices. The Angel & the Devil is inspired by two of the greatest viol virtuosos of the eighteenth century, Marin Marais and Antoine Forqueray, whose contrasting personalities are said to perfectly fit the performance’s title. Additionally, the evening program includes pairs of violins, oboes, and viols performing sonatas by Jean-Féry Rebel and François Couperin and Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s rarely-performed Sonate à huit.
