Event Description

Celebrate Early Music Month with a fun day of workshops, concerts, and a community sing-along/play-along. SCEMS, Jouyssance Early Music Ensemble, and The Foundation for the Neo-Renaissance, and Early music America sponsor this day for all musicians in the early music community and children to come together and play and sing music together, and to expose children (ages 5 and up) to the riches and fun of early music. Professionally-coached workshops for all levels of singers, winds, and strings (all at A440) will sight read music (provided) and prepare for the finale mass performance, coached by Nicole Baker, Jon Lee Keenan, and Andrea Zomorodian, (singers), Inga Funck and Rotem Gilbert (recorders), Andrew Justice (strings), Ashley Salinas and Marylin Winkle (children's recorder and strings)

The final concert, in addition to the tutti massed performance, includes a play-and-tell showcase of local Early Music groups.

Children’s workshops are for playing recorder (soprano recorders provided for free and to take home), Note: March 15 is officially "Play the Recorder" day (https://americanrecorder.org/play_the_recorder_month.php).

There will be an instrument "petting zoo" where children and adults can hear and try playing more exotic historical instruments like bagpipe, hurdy gurdy, crumhorn, harpsichord, rackett, rummel-pot, etc.

An Exhibition of local instrument makers will display and sell instruments. Used instruments will be for sale (silent auction benefitting SCEMS, and normal for-sale instruments).

Free admission, Lunch is provided for free.

You are welcome to register to participate in either the full day or partial day.

Please register no later than March 14 so that we can plan to have enough lunch and score copies. RSVP, registration at:
