Lauda’s musicians showcase their impressive talents as well as the ensemble’s large inventory of early instruments in this concert featuring consorts of recorders, flutes, capped reeds, viols, and more. Renaissance instrumental music was most commonly performed in like-instrument groups, with an increased use of the “broken” (or mixed) consort as instrument-building methods evolved. The concert is free, but donations are gratefully accepted

From the influences of Martin Luther to the harmonic language standardized by Bach, Germany was central to the development of Western music and instruments. Lauda Musicam’s capped reed ensemble takes the spotlight in this concert of music by Schütz, Schein, Scheidt, and more. The concert is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.
