Ars Musica Chicago opens its 2025 season with a duo recital featuring Artistic Director and harpsichordist Jason J. Moy and lutenist Brandon Acker. This free concert will include works by Robert de Visée, François Le Cocq, and Johann Sebastian Bach, and offers Chicago area audiences a rare opportunity to hear music for solo harpsichord, theorbo, and guitar on the same program. This concert is dedicated to the memory of Daniel Heiman, a longtime Ars Musica Chicago board member and ardent supporter of early music in Chicago.
