Alchymy Viols‘ collaborates with some of the nation’s finest gambists and other soloists, choirs, and instrumentalists to present music from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Unique to Alchymy are its newly-written and arranged productions of music, drama and dance growing out of the form of the seventeenth century masque, productions such as “Cavalii’s Masque,” “American at Versailles,” “World of Leonardo,” and “Brothers Lawes.”
