Abstract
“All the Colours in the Ayre,” the 53rd annual conclave of the Viola da Gamba Society of America (VdGSA), will bring 200 to 300 viol enthusiasts to Emory for a week of classes, workshops, informal playing and concerts. The society represents about 1,000 people dedicated to the viola da gamba (literally, “viol of the leg”), which come in many sizes, and its music, old and new.
