Free (donations accepted)
- Jillon Stoppels Dupree, harpsichord
Carlo Farina — Selected works
Andrea Falconieri — Selected works
Johann Rosenmüller — Selected works
Georg Philipp Telemann — Selected works
Join the Early Music Youth Academy's young players—middle and high school students playing Baroque violin, cello, and viola da gamba—as they explore Baroque style from its origins and on, including works by Claudia Rusca, Carlo Farina, Andrea Falconieri, Johann Rosenmüller, and Georg Philipp Telemann. You'll hear the personable conversations of the polyphonic fantasia evolve into the theatrical sinfonia, the mesmerizing ciaccona, and the elegant sonata. This 40-minute program is directed by SHAK founder Shulamit Kleinerman, early violin, and features special guest artist Jillon Stoppells Dupree, harpsichord.
There is no charge for admission; free-will donations at the door offset the cost of SHAK's donor-supported programming. The church is accessible, with on-street parking and a small parking lot at the north end of the building.
About SHAK Early Music Youth Academy
The Early Music Youth Academy is a program of Seattle Historical Arts for Kids, which now includes opportunities in both Baroque and Renaissance repertoires for student levels and ages. The original EMYA program (2014-2020) grew around a group of students who shared the joys of Renaissance chamber music on bowed and plucked strings throughout their middle and high school years. That ensemble appeared at the Berkeley Festival of Early Music, performed for the Seattle Public Library’s exhibit of Shakespeare’s First Folio, and opened for concerts by the acclaimed Renaissance bands Piffaro and the Baltimore Consort.
