Spring Concerts
May Concert: one
night only
Fri May 17. 7pm. Los Altos Lutheran.
This is a preview of our
upcoming tour to Virginia the following weekend. Marion and Jonathan are joined
by fabulous singers Rita Lilly and Charles Humphries. Songs by Purcell and
Blow, a little Handel Messiah arranged for organ duet, and other instrumentals.
Deserts before, during and after the concert. We’re traveling with a new organ
that fits into a suitcase, travels by airplane, sounds fantastic, and makes its
first public appearance at this concert. Got you curious? Hope to see you there

June Concert:
Berkeley Early Music Festival and beyond
Thurs June 13. 11am. Berkeley Christian
Science Org (Durant at Bowditch).
Sat June 15. 4pm. Palo Alto Woman's
Club.
Featuring Leonard Salzedo’s Harpsichord Concerto. Yes, you heard it right. My
relative Leonard wrote this concerto for his brilliant colleague Rucky van Mill
as a birthday present in 1968. Plans for this performance started during the
last Berkeley Festival two years ago. It’s an exciting, brilliant
and funny piece. And surrounding it, favorites by Bach (Double Violin
Concerto), Geminiani (La Folia) and Guonod (Danse Funebre made famous by Alfred Hitchcock).
This concert is the
first in a season celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Albany
Concert - the first concert was in October 1974 at Christ Church (now St George’s
Cathedral), Albany Street, London.
Tickets and Donations
At the height of the pandemic, when concerts were all
on zoom or livestream, we gave free concerts. Now we’re in a hybrid mode
between live concerts and streamed events. These concerts will be recorded and
streamed at a later time. To keep us in business we’re
doing tickets and
requesting donations.
Ticket price is $35 (Los Altos Lutheran members $25, Woman’s Club members $25)
with a family rate of $95. But whatever you can give us is fine, including just
a dollar or two or even nothing at all. Concerts have expenses: our musicians
are professionals, giving up other work to be part of The Albany Consort, and
we rent the venues we use. Tickets, donations and our savings have to cover our
costs. All donations received help us to fund this and future productions, and
we are very appreciative of your ongoing support. Thanks!
