2025 Salish Sea Early Music Festival | Early chamber music on period instruments on Lopez Island

Submitted by the Salish Sea Early Music Festival.

“Folk Song from Three Centuries: Renaissance Psalms, Scottish Baroque and Folk” features Oleg Timofeyev and Jeffrey Cohan in a performance of three centuries of European, Scottish and Irish folk music, both sacred and secular, from the Renaissance, Baroque and Romantic periods on three of the plucked instruments and five of the transverse flutes of three centuries.

The concert, presented in collaboration with Grace Episcopal Church, takes place on Saturday, June 14 at 6 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church at 70 Sunset Lane on Lopez Island. The concert begins at 6 p.m. sharp and not 6:30 p.m. due to the ferry schedule, and this concert was originally scheduled to take place on June 7. Admission is by suggested donation (a free-will offering) of $20 to $30. Those 18 and under are free. All are welcome regardless of donation. For additional information please see www.salishseafestival.org/lopez.

This year’s “Folk Song from Three Centuries” is a completely new program expanding upon highly innovative research completed for last year’s similar program based on popular and folk music including Renaissance Psalms (~1620), Irish and Scottish baroque (~1720) and folk music as interpreted during Beethoven’s lifetime (~1820).
