- 'Viols in Our Schools' exists as a pilot program of the Viola da Gamba Society of America. Dr. Phillip Serna donates time to perform in schools, often pro bono. Renaissance music for viols, as well as performance of early-western string instruments, is almost never heard within the school setting. 'Viols in Our Schools' seeks to remedy this by offering performances/ lecture-demonstrations of Renaissance, Baroque and early Classical era literature enhancing the music program experience while entertaining audiences.
