Portraits

The famous English painter Thomas Gainsborough had a passion for music and many significant composers sat for portraits by him -- including Ignatius Sancho, Carl Friedrich Abel, Felice de Giardini, Rudolf Straube, Johann Christian Fischer, and J.C. Bach -- leaving behind not only their portraits but also a treasure trove of musical delights.  Come here their music performed live, on period instruments, in a wonderfully unique program.
