Lyra Way performs repertoire for two bass viols played “lyra way” by 17th-century English composers Tobias Hume, Thomas Ford, and Alfonso Ferrabosco II. Each player provides chordal accompaniment or melody in turn, creating exquisite polyphony. Artists from the BALAM Dance Theatre, Carlos Fittante and Yumiko Niimi, will interpret the dance pieces as solos and duets, exploring their own polyphony.
Time: 1:15 pm EST
