About our Guest Conductors
We are pleased to welcome Sarah Shoja and Teresa Deskur to lead our April 13th playing session.
Persian musician Sarah Shoja specializes in the recorder and was one of the first women in Iran to play the recorder in concert halls. In 2017, Sarah was awarded a full scholarship to study with Gwyn Roberts at the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Historical Performance.
An upstate NY local, Teresa Deskur started playing recorder at age five, and never stopped! She took first prize in the 2020 University-Instrumental category of Boulder Bach Festival's World Bach Competition. In 2016, Teresa won Piffaro's National Recorder Competition and appeared as a guest performer with the group in March 2017. She has performed regularly with the Peabody Renaissance Ensemble and Baltimore Baroque Band.

Now Is the Month of Maying: Songs and Dances for Springtime
Our program is a celebration of Renaissance and Baroque tunes that herald the coming season. We'll explore ballads, galliards, and chansons with a connection to Spring, and dive into the history of the pieces as well as ensemble best practices.
