The Musicians

The ensemble that has been assembled to perform this concert of Renaissance and early baroque music represents an expansion ofthe National

Gallery Chamber Players. Generally, the trios, quartets, and quintets that

fit under this umbrella are made up ofmembers ofthe National Gallery

Orchestra. In this case, the musicians play instruments that predate the

modern orchestra, precluding their membership; however, they are uniquely

qualified to serve as resident chamber players in a museum that has such 

an extensive collection offifteenth- to eighteenth-century art and that often

hosts exhibitions such as Fabulous Journeys and Faraway Places: Travels on

Paper, 1450-1700.
