Starting 2012 with a nice big band program ...

Sand Dalton (oboe/flute, Seattle) will be joining us. He is an old friend - I think we first played together in 1980. Some regulars and some new blood in the group. And, as always, great music from the 18th century.

Bach - Cantata 84
Vivaldi - Oboe and recorder concertos
Geminiani and Muffat - some really great string music.

The Lineup ...

Jonathan Salzedo harpsichord
Marion Rubinstein recorder/organ
Sand Dalton oboe
Christa Pfeiffer soprano
David Wilson, Laura Rubinstein-Salzedo, Ondine Young, Natalie Carducci violins
