on a composition is a joy! Leonora Gillard Sleeter
A Baroque music day you can't miss with your local community. Eryn Mai
A unique opportunity to work in depth on a piece with help from several
outstanding coaches! Jennie Mollica

people and learning more about Baroque style. Marga Stone
At long last. A Baroque music workshop in Berkeley. Hurray! Karen Lassen |
