Wieland Kuijken is one of the most respected and revered players and teachers in the early music world.
Based in the Netherlands, this pioneer in the revival of the viola da gamba rarely makes it to America's west coast.
His Bay Area appearances, sponsored by the San Francisco Early Music Society, will be savored, especially by his former student Lynn Tetenbaum and harpsichordist Katherine Heater, who get to share the stage with him. If you miss it, you'll be using your gams to kick yourself with.
