Fee: $29, CMA members $28
7:30 p.m. performance
Once of the most versatile and adventurous viola virtuosos of our time, Garth Knox is an Irish-born, Scottish-raised srting player. A recent fascination with the baroque-period instrument the viola d'amore (with its seven playing strings and seven sympathetic strings) led the creation of a program that - though historically informed - is rooted in the spirit of innovation and discovery. This delightful program is a mix of the music of the 17th & 18th centuries, traditional Celtic reels and jigs, and new works, including Knox's arrangements with cellow.
