Filament Presents “Bach and the Art of Flourishing”

Filament presents “Bach and the Art of Flourishing” in concert Sunday, May 3, 4 p.m., at Historic Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church, 916 S. Swanson Street (Columbus Blvd. and Christian St.) in the Queen Village section of Philadelphia.

The trio includes Evan Few on violin, Elena Kauffman on viola da gamba and John Walthausen on harpsichord, playing at the oldest church in Pennsylvania … and one of their favorite venues.

Over the course of their first seven years together, Filament has built a reputation for distinctive programming and engaging performances, establishing the trio as a leading presence in Philadelphia’s thriving early music community and a nexus for connection and collaboration. Their new program, “Bach and the Art of Flourishing,” celebrates the gorgeous, intricate, and intriguing music of J.S. Bach, featuring sonatas for violin and viola da gamba, as well as works for solo harpsichord, spotlighting each of the three instruments that make the Filament trio unique.

Admission is $30 for adults and $15 for students with I.D. It includes a drink ticket for a beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Advance registration is highly recommended.
