Among them are harpsichordists Olena Zhukova (Kyiv), Irene Roldàn (Basel), Elisabeth Wright (Indiana) and Hans-Jürgen Schnoor (Lübeck), soprano Maike Albrecht (Lübeck), viola da gambists (also treble viol and pardessus de viol) Susie Napper (Montreal), Mélisande Corriveau (Montreal) and Annalisa Pappano (Munich), baroque guitarist and theorbo player William Simms (Baltimore) and guitarist/lutenist Oleg Timofeyev (Chicago), violinists David Greenberg (Corvalis) and Ethan Lin (Seattle), violist Vicki Gunn (Portland) and baroque bassoonist Anna Marsh (Seattle).
We wish you an enlightened 2026. We’re grateful to Grace Episcopal Church and are excited that you share our passion for this music, as this brings these wonderful artists to us.
