Chicago Area EM concerts this weekend
Martin Davids
CHICAGO Be carried away by the excitement of Vivaldi; moved be the
timeless grace of Corelli, and swept up by other virtuoso violinist
composers from Baroque Italy! Led by Baroque Violinist Martin Davids, the
Callipygian Players, the ensemble of Chicagoąs finest period instrument
musicians, continue to delight audiences with their fresh approach to
Baroque music. You wonąt want to miss their latest concerts!
David Myford (violin), Thomas Gerber (keyboard), and Craig Trompeter (cello)
will join Martin Davids in the interpretation of some of the most beautiful
Baroque music composed by Italian Masters of the Violin. Wildly expressive
sonatas by Pandolfi and Bonporti will be contrasted with the pure form of
Corelli, and the perfect counterpoint of Bonocini. Veraciniąs daring feats
will delight and Vivaldiąs Follia Variations for two violins and continuo is
sure to please the ears. Join the Callipygian Players for this showcase of
the music of Italian Virtuosos - their artistry and commitment to live
performance will dazzle you.

Callipygian? I should think that's in the eye of the beholder. And if
you sit to perform, maybe not even there.

I looked this up online....why would you want to call an early music
group something like this?? Is there a classical reference that I am
unaware of?

1. It gets people talking about us.
2. It's a fun name.
3. Some members of the group are "beautifully proportioned."
4. It's somewhat orginal.
5. It's not the name of a dead composer or monarch.
Would you prefer us to wear wrinkled garments and Birkenstocks? Why would
an early music group want to be boring like many existing groups?

We've had this discussion before, and I'm still not convinced that the name
wasn't a mistake.

If it gets bums on seats who cares? At least there's no such thing as an HIP
name for a group...anything with "musicke" in the title perhaps.
