Chamber music's timelessness explored

It is not every day that a person can sit back and be serenaded as though part of an elite gathering at the court of England’s King George II. Such is the power of the New York-based chamber trio Repast Baroque to melodically transport its audience back to the 17th and 18th centuries with a bit of stringed nourishment for the soul.

The group’s program Sunday afternoon at the Montgomery College Cultural Arts Center is titled “Music for Several Friends” and is presented by the Bach Sinfonia, a Maryland-based organization dedicated to excellence in performance and public awareness of baroque and classical music.
