Our 2020-2021 Season


Our new season combines the traditional with the absolutely unique.

First: Ronn McFarlane


Our new season opens with the return of the renowned lutenist Ronn McFarlane, this time appearing with flutist and multi instrumentalist (including Renaissance harp, fifes and bagpipes) of the Baltimore Consort Mindy Rosenfeld. Ronn is a Grammy nominated performer and composer who is recognized across the globe as a master of his instrument and we are thrilled to have him back with us. Mindy is a founding member of the highly respected Baltimore Consort, with whom she tours extensively, and of San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra ("the nation's premier early music ensemble"--New York Times).

Second: Ensemble Schumann


Ensemble Schumann is an oboe, viola, piano trio featuring oboist Tom Gallant who appeared last June with the Tesla String Quartet in Clarksburg for our outreach concert. Tom, an award winning artist, is one of the world's few virtuoso solo and chamber music performers on the oboe. The trio also includes Steve Larson, viola and Sally Pinkas, piano.


February 28, 2021 at 3:00 PM
Third: Corina Marti


To open the second half of our season we welcome from Europe the celebrated harpsichordist Corina Marti. Corina is recognized internationally for her strikingly superior interpretations and infallible performances. As a soloist, chamber musician and teacher she travels regularly across Europe, North and South America, the Middle and Far East. She teaches the next generation of early music performers at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland and we are excited to have her as our first ever harpsichord soloist.

March 29, 2020 at 3:00 PM
Fourth: Les Délices


To close our thirty-ninth season we are pleased to present the early music group Les Délices who last appeared for us in 2014. Les Délices is a first class baroque chamber ensemble known for stellar performances and innovative programming. Their concerts and recordings have been called "journeys of discovery" by the New York Times. They have performed for many of the U.S.'s most esteemed early music series. Their most recent CD was released last November.

All performances are held at

St. Peter the Fisherman Church
