Lauda Musicam Baroque Orchestra Chamber Concert. Lauda Musicam’s Baroque Orchestra performs a concert of chamber music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Prior to the standardization of the orchestra in the 19th century, instrumentation often varied widely from one work to another, while some composers clearly favored some instruments over others. String, wind, and keyboard players from Lauda’s orchestra will offer a taste of this seemingly endless feast of music for small ensembles. Holy Trinity Parish, 515 E. Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur, GA 30030. The concert is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Proceeds from this concert will go toward the Lauda Musicam Instrument Fund to help purchase new instruments for the Baroque Orchestra.Sunday, May 3, 2026, at 3:00 pm
Such Nonsense! While unraveling the text and music from the Medieval and Renaissance periods might result in apparent nonsense, the truth of the matter is that hidden messages and meanings were everywhere. Sometimes satirical, sometimes laudatory, but oftentimes taboo, these pieces require reading between the lines. Holy Trinity Parish, 515 E. Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur, GA 30030. The concert is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.Monday, June 1, 2026, at 7:00 pm

Composers throughout the Renaissance and Baroque periods traveled extensively to learn about musical styles, to work in foreign courts, and to study with others. Many left their mark; many also brought back knowledge that served to reshape the direction of music all over Europe. German composers worked in England; English composers worked in Denmark; Italian madrigals were all the rage in England. Lauda Musicam may not be able to unravel the threads, but the ensemble will give the audience a closer look at the tapestry. The concert is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.
