2024 Consort Studio
Great news! New Program – Consort Studio
The HPRS is offering a Consort Studio, the opportunity to join, rehearse, study and perform the lead alto part of select Baroque trio sonatas accompanied by an in-person professional consort. Open to all!
We will meet on the second Saturday afternoon of the month, January through
June 2024, for the Consort Institute. These events, will be led by conductor
and recorder player, Steven Russell. (Read Steven’s Bio) It will
include an opportunity to explore a variety of Baroque literature for small
ensembles, through rehearsal, instruction, and demonstration, and end with the
opportunity to play the lead alto part with the professional ensemble. We will
also have opportunities to warm up on Renaissance music with SATB recorders, so
bring all sizes.
We look forward to seeing you!
