This unique group is comprised of people from many walks of life, including experienced musicians, retired teachers, university professors, medical personnel, and retired naval officers. Members have performed not only public concerts but also have entertained in schools, at churches, at music festivals, and for other organizations who are interested in learning more about Early Music and Early Music instruments. At practices, players enjoy exchanging ideas, arranging compositions, exploring and learning more about their instruments, and discussing strategies to encourage new participants. Among the various soprano, alto, tenor, and bass recorders are three great basses and a Contrabass which measures six feet tall. Even the hammered dulcimer has made its way into the ensemble this year.
