Other highlights include violins by Antonio Stradivari and Jakob Stainer, a viol by Pietro Guarneri, and an assortment of curious hybrid and specialty instruments. The annual concert series presents many of today's foremost artists performing in an intimate setting. Recent seasons have included appearances by Steven Isserlis and Robert Levin, Juilliard Baroque, Paul O'Dette and Ellen Hargis, and Tapestry.
