Gold and Glitter – Past Concerts

From the canals of Venice and music salons in German courts to the bright candlelit halls of Versailles, the early music ensemble Gold and Glitter shines a new light on 17th- and 18th-century masterpieces of the Baroque era. Our aim, through great attention to detail and emphasizing historical performance practices, is to perform this music with flair, virtuosity, and passion in order to understand the composers’ intentions and make audiences love this music as much as we do. The four members of the ensemble, all with different backgrounds, studied in Europe and the US and now perform and teach all over the world. Their love and respect for this music brought them together in this great exploration of music from Bach’s time and before.

Gold and Glitter is Bethanne Walker, traverso; Daniel Lee, violin; Martha McGaughey, viola da gamba; and Arthur Haas, harpsichord.
