As part of the Fermilab Gallery Chamber Series, Callipygian Players will perform at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15, in the second-floor art gallery at Wilson Hall, off Pine Street in Batavia. Tickets are $17.
The Callipygian Players are an ensemble of Chicago's finest period instrument musicians and singers under the leadership of director and Baroque violinist Martin Davids. They present innovative and exciting concerts of music from the Baroque era (approximately 1600-1750).
Known for interesting programming, their concerts feature music of well-known composers as well as lesser known masterpieces.
The Callipygian Players include Martin Davids, violin; David Schrader, harpsichord; and Craig Trompeter, baroque cello and viola da gamba. They recently released a CD of the sonatas of Henry Eccles.
More information and samples of the CD are available at calplayers.org.
