Inspirations Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012, at 7:30pm Featuring Sarah Adams, viola; Dieter Hennings, lute; Ilana Davidson, soprano; Paolo Bordignon, harpsichord; Louise Owen, violin; Keith Bonner, flute Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center

This centenary tribute to Benjamin Britten, featuring our superb principal violist, is preceded by the English Renaissance song upon which his work Lachrymae is based. Vivaldi's sound world is mirrored by Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon's striking newish opus. Inspired by Mexican poet Raul Aceves' evocative aphorisms, this tour de force sports an exotic array of plucked instruments, harpsichord, strings and percussion with voice. Bach's iconic Brandenburg brings three more Riverside virtuosi front and center.

The Salon for this concert will take place on Wednesday evening, February 1 at 6pm at Bonhams, located at 580 Madison Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets. Reservations are required.
