with Irene Klein and Jane Achtman

The human voice has always been considered the ideal of musical expression. The viola da gamba, in particular, was often considered a "singing instrument" and equal to singing, reaching its peak in 17th/18th century France.



The incomparable composer of viola da gamba music, Marin Marais, titled "Les Voix Humaines" ("The Human Voices") one of his most beautiful pieces. Concertgoers can look forward to an hour of fine, French, singing viola da gamba music!
