with Beth Wenstrom, violin
Repast’s core ensemble, with guest violinist Beth Wenstrom, presents chamber music by Biber, Buxtehude, Schmelzer, Marini, Hacquart, and Bertali. In this early period of violin repertoire, the technical exploration of the instrument’s possibilities, as well as the formal experimentation of the period were thrilling, and reflected the dramatic upheaval of Europe coming out of a time of major plagues and the trauma of the 30 Years’ War.
