January 9-10:
Hidden Gems
An annual “fan-favorite” concert. This time we will focus on music from the wild and crazy days of the early Baroque. Music by Castello, Schmeltzer, Weckmann, Uccelini , and others. If you don’t know them, well, that’s the point. As always, you can count on the music being fresh, exciting, and sublime.
Performers are Stephen Redfield and Joseph Tan, violins; Curtis Foster, recorder; Eric Mun, gamba; Nathaniel Brickens, sackbut; Keith Collins, dulcian; and Keith Womer, organ.

April 24-25
Haydn! Beethoven! Scotland! - with Anton Nel
What do Haydn and Beethoven have in common? First, and not surprisingly, they wrote great chamber music. Second, and quite unexpectedly, they wrote many superb settings of Scottish songs.
Get a taste of both as Anton Nel performs on fortepiano with La Follia and guest vocalists. What a satisfying way to end a concert season!
