The rich and beautiful timbre of the viola is most often heard in the inner voices in works for the string family, but in this program we will also feature the viola as a solo instrument. The program will include Bach’s famous Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, as well as lesser-known gems of Locatelli and others.

Eastman’s Italian Baroque Organ is the only antique chamber organ of its kind in North America, and it is always a treat to perform with it! For the 20th Anniversary of its installation in the Fountain Court of the MAG, we will contribute to the 2025-26 season of celebratory Third Thursday concerts with a program featuring organist Naomi Gregory in a program focused on the organ concerto in England in the first half of the 18th century, including music of Handel, Arne, Boyce, Avison, and Geminiani.

On the series of Third Thursday Concerts with Eastman’s Italian Baroque Organ.
Free with Gallery Admission, which is half-price after 5 pm on Thursdays.
