Duo fantaisie en Echo Performance*
A viola da gamba duet featuring Phillip W. Serna & Rachel Cama-Lekx, Duo fantaisie en Echo derives its name from Pièces a deux violes du premier livre (1686) by French gambist Marin Marais. The duet will be performing in a free concert funded by the Kushell Music Endowment entitled The Nymphs of the Rhine: Music by Johann Schenck (1660-1712).
Rachel Cama-Lekx performs professionally on viola da gamba and baroque cello throughout the Midwest, the East Coast and beyond. Active as both a soloist and continuo player, Rachel has collaborated with a variety of chamber ensembles including Long & Away and The Sprightly Companions. She is the artistic director of Cascata, an ensemble specializing in seventeenth century dramatic vocal music of Italy and virtuosic instrumental genres. In demand as a teacher, Rachel has instructed viola da gamba at workshops in New England, Toronto, at the Amherst Early Music Festival, at Brandeis University and currently directs the Case Western Reserve University Viol Consort.
Phillip W. Serna performs on double bass and viola da gamba with numerous Midwest orchestras and many early music ensembles including Ars Antigua, the Chicago Early Music Consort, the Newberry Consort and the Spirit of Gambo - a Chicago Consort of Viols. Phillip is the founder and music director of the Early Music outreach program Viols in Our Schools, involving many different in-school outreach projects as well as the GambaCast, a video and audio podcast featuring performances of viol literature. In addition to his private studio, Phillip is instructor of double bass and viola da gamba at Valparaiso University, and is on faculty at the Music Institute of Chicago's Early Music Department.
