Emmanuel Episcopal Church of La Grange‘s artists-in-residence New Comma Baroque return in a special program of rare gems from the twilight years of the viol: from Gottfried Mente and Christian Wilhelm Podbielski to the so-called ‘last gambist Carl Friedrich Abel, New Comma Baroque‘s Phillip Serna and Emily Katayama present a virtuosic exploration of late repertoire for the viola da gamba – including a newly-discovered work by Abel found in Poland in 2016!
Performers: Phillip W. Serna, viola da gamba & Emily J. Katayama, harpsichord
