The viola da gamba playing of Carol Lewis has been called “brilliantly florid” and “consistently exquisite”. She has frequently demonstrated her musical virtuosity and versatility as a soloist in recitals in the United States and abroad.

A former student of Jordi Savall, Ms. Lewis is also an accomplished ensemble musician, having toured and recorded with Hespèrion, Boston Camerata, Ensemble Chaconne, and Capriccio Stravagante. She recently appeared with Ensemble Chaconne at the National Music Museum (SD), Zamir Chorale (Newton, MA), and Capella Clausura (Boston, MA). Ms. Lewis teaches a viol consort class at Somerville High School, and she has taught at Festival dei Saraceni (Pamparato, Italy), Milano Civica Scuola di Musica (Italy), New England Conservatory of Music, Bunker Hill Community College, Amherst Early Music, Pinewoods Early Music Week, Viols of Houston, and the annual summer conclave of the Viola da Gamba Society of America.
