Live Chamber Music! All live interaction, no recordings. This means that you will hear Miyuki and John playing all combinations of two voices of every piece. We will play each piece several times so that you have the opportunity of changing instruments and/or voices, discovering all the voices and hearing the complete piece while playing your own part.
We will also play Baroque Trio Sonatas with harpsichord continuo. You can play both upper voices along with John playing the other. You can also switch to the bass voice and fill out the continuo along with the harpsichord.
Repertoire will include:
Renaissance Chansons, Madrigals, Dances Baroque Trio Sonatas Contemporary and Popular Music
and More!
All repertoires are selected to be friendly to
Recorders, Bowed and Plucked, Strings, Reed and Brass instruments All instruments are welcome!
