Asheville Baroque Concerts is returning after a year-long hiatus!
We are delighted to announce three upcoming concerts in 2026, starting with Tutti Bassi on Sunday, August 16th.
Tutti Bassi features some of North Carolina’s finest musicians specializing in early music on period instruments. Stephanie Vial, baroque cello; Peter Ferretti, violone; David Wells, baroque bassoon and Daniel Swenberg, theorbo, will join ABCs’ Gail Ann Schroeder on viola da gamba for a program of rich and sonorous solos, duos, and other combinations featuring these bass instruments.
Immerse yourself in the deep and get the lowdown on the three families (which two instruments are related?) and why they were fundamental in practically every genre of music during the baroque. Who needs violins and flutes? Bassi can do it all!
Composers include J.S. Bach, C.F. Abel, G.B. Vitali, Benedetto Marcello and more!
This concert is a pay-as-you-can community event. Every donation is appreciated.
Seating is limited.
Tutti Bassi is a collaboration with the Triangle’s early music series Baroque and Beyond. This program will be performed in Chapel Hill on Sunday, August 23rd at 3:00.
