Скачать или смотреть RVA Baroque in Space at Richmond Public Library 2025 - Part 1 - Biber

RVA Baroque is Richmond, Virginia's community Baroque ensemble. We joyfully collaborate with other local cultural institutions. In September 2025, we joined the Richmond Public Library to build a program around the main building's magnificent stone atrium built in 1930. We used the full space -- hallways, upstairs gallery, stairwell, and adjoining rooms -- to showcase music with unusual spatial and acoustic effects.

After a verse introduction to sound the themes, the concert began with a medley of movements by composer Heinrich I. F. Biber (1644-1704), which collectively present a day in the life of Kromeriz, the Bohemian town where Biber was born.

Additional videos from the concert will be posted on this channel.

Performers in this video are: Christine Anderson (baroque violin), Ivan Tavinogradov (baroque violin), Raphael Seligmann (baroque violin and viola), Anita Williams (baroque viola), Joshua Chinn (voice), and Diana Carver (narrator).

Thanks to Phil G. Shepard (Richmond Public Library), Alan Entin, and Liying Gong for footage and stills.
