Robert Mealy, concertmaster of the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra and a 2015 Grammy winner, leads the five players of Quicksilver in a program of early chamber music from Central Europe, much of it inspired by exotic folk tunes at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Kahilu Theater Gallery in Waimea for a requested donation of $20.
On Thursday, Quicksilver will perform at 7 p.m. in Kealakekua at the Queen Emma Community Center. Tickets for that performance will be $25 at the door and are also available at earlymusichawaii.com. Questions can be directed to Garrett Webb at 960-3650.
Quicksilver has been described by the New York Times as being “revered like rock stars within the early music scene.”
Early Music America, the industry leader, praised their playing as “drop dead gorgeous with a wonderful interplay of timbres.”
They will play works by Johann Schmeltzer, Antonio Bertali, Johann Fux, Johannes Vierdanck and others. Joint directors of Quicksilver are Robert Mealy and Julie Andrijeski, baroque violins; Dominic Teresi, dulcian; Avi Stein, harpsichord; and Charles Weaver, guitar and theorbo.
Early Music Hawaii is a nonprofit organization that promotes the performance and enjoyment of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music in the islands. The final concert of the 2014-15 season is April 18 at the Queen Emma Community Center and will feature Ensemble Mirable from the Bay Area, with guest star on recorders from Sweden, Dan Laurin.
