These distinguished artists have been champions of their respective instruments for decades: Ronn Macfarlane on lute and Carolyn Surrickon the viola da Gamba are compelling performers who have both immersed themselves in music from the Renaissance and Baroque as well as music from the Celtic lands, adding their own compositions as they evolve. Individually, they have been awarded, acclaimed, celebrated, and now as musical partners in an extraordinary journey. Their musicianship is impeccable, the ease with which they play together is stunning, and their music making is a joy to behold.
