Filament: Academy of Early Music

This Philadelphia trio has championed 17th- and 18th-century chamber music since 2019 with a “fervor and delight that make early music seem current,” according to the Broad Street Review. Tonight, they present “The Muse’s Prism,” a mix of “greatest hits” from their first 7 years together—including consort music of William Lawes, sonatas by Buxtehude, Bertali, and Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, unpublished sonatas taken directly from manuscripts, and the trio’s own arrangement of Bach’s beloved Schübler Chorales. With violinist Evan Few, viola da gambist Elena Kauffman, and keyboardist John Walthausen. Preceded at 6:45 p.m. by a talk. 7:30 p.m., St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 306 N. Division. $35 (seniors, $30; students, $10) in advance at academyofearlymusic.org & (if available) at the door. $5 increase after Oct. 2. (734) 228–4338.
