Pacific MusicWorks takes you on a musical stroll through the pleasure garden of the golden age of English song.

About Tess Roberts, viola da gamba
Emerging viola da gamba player Tess Roberts has been exploring the world of early music through the viol since age 11. Recent performances include appearances with Tekla Cunningham for Heinrich Biber's Glorious Mystery Sonatas, the University of Washington Baroque Ensemble, Seattle's Medieval Women's Choir, and guest appearances with Seattle Historical Arts for Kids.
Tess has also enjoyed teaching opportunities at Seattle Historical Arts for Kids, UC Davis, the University of Washington, and has recently opened a private viola da gamba studio in Seattle. She is currently studying with Caroline Nicolas after graduating from the studios of Lee Innman and Shulamit Klinerman. She leads casual play-in and coaching sessions of historical music and performance practices for the local viol community. She hopes to broaden her teaching to early childhood music education with a global music focus, by studying Ethnomusicology at the University of Washington as she prepares for graduate studies in Gamba performance in Europe.
