Twelfth Night, early music ensemble
Sunday, May 10, 2026 | 7:30 PM
Martha Ellen-Tye Recital Hall, Iowa State University
Twelfth Night was founded in New York City in 2021 by acclaimed early music performers Baroque violinist Rachell Ellen Wong and harpsichordist David Belkovski.
For this performance, they will be joined by Kevin Payne on theorbo.
Specializing in historically informed performance on authentic instruments, their "Grand Tour" program showcases the expressive power and technical brilliance of groundbreaking composers of the Baroque era with ”zesty, impeccable playing…[that] doesn’t come along every day’” (New York Classical Review).
EXTRA EVENT: To get an earlier glimpse of the musicians and their instruments, free of charge, all are invited to “PREVIEW THE BAROQUE” the day before the concert, Saturday, May 9, at 10:00 a.m. in the Ames Public Library.
Twelfth Night’s visit to Ames is supported by an Ames Commission on the Arts (COTA) Special Project Grant and a Discover Ames Community Grant award.
Don’t miss a single performance.
