About the Summer Baroque Ensemble

The ensemble begin about five years ago with a core of five musicians, all with a common
interest in the Baroque and early music repertoire. Made up of professional and amateur
musicians, some have extensive experience with early music groups in England and the U.S.,
others are teachers in local schools and a university and all live or summer in the Adirondacks.

Depending on the program being offered, the ensemble has had as many as eleven
instrumentalists, as well as vocal soloists, chorale, and has performed at the Essex MidDay
Concert series and churches in Keene Valley, Seranac Lake, and Port Henry, NY.

 

Members of the Ensemble include:

Ed Douglas, recorders and tenor vielle
Janice Kyle, oboe
Hans Himelein, flute
Jeris French, violin and viola
Bill Stokes, violin
Oliver Brookes, bass viola da gamba
Daniel Linder, harpsichord and piano
