Great News!

The Highland Park Recorder Society’s online Seminar Series in Early Music Performance begins Monday, September 15, 2025, 7:30 P.M. Eastern Time.  We are honored and privileged to present Distinguished Professor and Early Music leader, Rainer Beckmann, leading us in:

A Leipzig Connection : Instrumental and Vocal Music by Schein, Calvisius, Fritsch, and Bach
Leipzig, the historic trade and university city in Saxony, was home to many of Germany’s most celebrated composers. A Leipzig Connection explores the musical ties between four influential figures active there in the early 17th to mid-18th centuries: Johann Hermann Schein, Sethus Calvisius, Balthasar Fritsch, and Johann Sebastian Bach. The program pairs spirited ensemble dances with engaging contrapuntal works, offering both historical insight and musical delight. Grounded in the rich stylistic and historical connections among these composers, the program promises to engage as much as it enlightens.

All are welcome! SATB Recorders, A=440hz

German born recorder player Rainer Beckmann performs with a large variety of early music ensembles in the Philadelphia Tri-State area. For more on his outstanding bio, please see https://hprecorder.org/artists/beckmann-rainer/ .
