Early Music Discovery Day
Sunday, February 20, 2022 12PM - 6PM
Schroeder Hall, Green Music Center
Bob Worth, small ensembles · Ruth Escher, solo singing · Kevin Cooper, plucked strings
​Barefoot All Stars, chamber music · David Parsons, organ · Sonoma Bach Choir

A new type of event for us, our Discovery Day will be a fun afternoon of learning, listening, exploring, singing, playing and making new friends. Intended for anyone interested in music—singers, players, audience-members, scholars, students—the day will include classes taught by experts within our own community on such topics as chamber music, organs and keyboards, small vocal ensembles, plucked string instruments, and German Lieder. The Sonoma Bach Choir will perform a short set of music to kick off the day, and all attendees will join together for a group sing at the end. Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and to help weave our community more closely together!

Still life with instruments
Cristoforo Munari

We have fallen into the place
  where everything is music.
Stop the words now. Open the window
in the center of your chest,
and let the spirits fly in and out!
--JALĀL AD-DĪN RŪMĪ, 13 th -century, trans. C. Barks

“The combination of Bachgrounder, program notes, the lyrics and the music itself gave such meaning to the experience that it resonated deeply.”
