Houston Early Music will present Chatham Baroque in a program of dances from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Spain and Latin America performed on baroque violin, viola da gamba, baroque guitar, theorbo, harp and percussion. Guest artists will be Houston historic harpist Becky Baxter and percussionist Danny Mallon. The concert will be at 8:00 p.m., Friday, March 11, 2005 at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 5501 Main Street.
Chatham Baroque has been hailed throughout the United States and beyond for its "untamable virtuosity" (Washington Post) and "high energy performances" (Charleston Post & Courier). The Pittsburgh-based ensemble was named as Best New Classical Artist of 1999 by National Public Radio and in 1999 received the Early Music Brings History Alive Award from Early Music America and the Logan Award from Penn State Erie, both in recognition of its innovative educational programming. Chatham Baroque has released six critically acclaimed CDs for Dorian Recordings.
Guest artist Becky Baxter’s resume as a professional in the field of early harp includes performances at events such as the National Harp Society Convention, Houston Grand Opera's productions of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo and L’Incoronazione di Poppea, Boston Early Music Festival, Roundtop Early Music Festival and Amherst Early Music Festival. Ms. Baxter currently serves on the faculty of Amherst Early Music Festival, Texas Early Music Festival as well as serving as Artistic Director and Vice-President of The Historical Harp Society. Her solo recording O Lux Beata, Renaissance Harp Music was released in January 2000. She also appears as a guest artist with Chatham Baroque on the Dorian CD Españoleta.
