The 2025 Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents its second program of eight on Lopez Island through July in its 2025 festival of early chamber music performed on period instruments. Bach and Telemann: The Chaconne with Les Voix Humaines features the internationally highly praised viola da gamba duo Les Voix Humaines. Viola da gambists Susie Napper and Mélisande Corriveau along with harpsichordist Elisabeth Wright and flutist Jeffrey Cohan present a program that demonstrates the chaconne at its most poignant and will transport three important works by Johann Sebastian Bach to an entirely new dimension through their own transcriptions. Also featuring other remarkable but rarely heard repertoire for two viola da gambas, pardessus de viol, flute and harpsichord.
