The virtuosic compositions for string band from late 17th-century Austria and Germany sit squarely in Chatham Baroque’s programmatic wheelhouse. Written for a lush array of bowed string instruments, this music is rich with ingenious invention, counterpoint, and mellifluous harmony.  Joined by some of our favorite string-playing guests, this program features rarely performed music of composers Heinrich Biber, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Antonio Bertali, Johann Hermann Schein, Johann Casper Ferdinand Fischer, and Georg Muffat.
