Karl, Kari and Sarah play together frequently on viols and modern instruments around Denver in the freelance scene. They come together for this evening as Sotto Voce, a viol consort focusing on repertoire from the early Rennaissance to late Baroque. Each piece is a gem in its own right, preserved in music history like a fly in amber, oftentimes a strange and accidental relic of a complete stranger. In the romantic era, composers achieving rockstar status burned music they didn't want to be canonized by future audiences. We play music from more anonymous sources, the composers leaving the music to us in most circumstances virtually uncurated. They almost certainly didn't expect their tunes to have found their way to a living room in an undiscovered continent! We will present it with an informal historical commentary, though it's possible to enjoy it without knowing the back story!
