The Smithsonian at Little Washington opens its eleventh season at the Theatre at Washington, Va. on Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. The first performance of the new season will be another in the acclaimed “Brilliance of the Baroque” series: “Music from the French Court” performed by James Weaver, harpsichord, and Kenneth Slowik, viola da gamba.
James Weaver came to the Smithsonian in 1966 to organize concerts with restored instruments from the collections of the American History Museum. As founding director of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, he established the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society. His numerous recordings as a performer and conductor include three “Record of the Year” awards.
This concert will mark his final appearance on the Theatre’s series as a Smithsonian employee, as he will bring his distinguished career at that museum to an end in November.
Mr. Weaver will be leaving to devote his energies, as Executive Director, to work towards the establishment of the National Music Center and Museum, to be constructed on the site of the present Convention Center in downtown Washington, D.C. As a performer, he divides his time among the harpsichord, fortepiano, and organ, appearing throughout the United States and Europe.
Kenneth Slowik is artistic director of the Chamber Music Program at the National Museum of American History. He is a founding member of the Smithsonian Chamber Players,"
