Friday Evening Baroque with Music on the Hill

The Music on the Hill Festival Chorus and a small vocal ensemble -- performing sometimes together, sometimes as two choirs, and sometimes independently -- will perform the Durante Magnificat and works by Telemann, Buxtehude, and more, led by Artistic Director Ellen Dickinson, Conductor.

They will be joined by period violinist Daniel Lee and friends. Lee, a violino piccolo specialist, is founder and co-director of the Sebastians, a leading baroque ensemble.

The April 1st concert will showcase a replica 1584 Hans Moermans harpsichord donated to Music on the Hill in 2015. The original instrument, built during the "great era of Flemish builders," was owned by esteemed 20th century harpsichord maker Frank Hubbard, who played a significant role in the modern revival of early keyboard instruments.
