Enjoy elegant and playful German Baroque chamber music with SHAK's Early Music Youth Academy. Skilled teen musicians on bassoon, cello, violin, and viola da gamba are accompanied by guest artist John Lenti, theorbo, with a special appearance by alumna Tess Roberts, viola da gamba. String students use bows of the period as the group brings to life Johann Schmelzer's vivid "Fencing School" suite, Phillipe Friedrich Boeddecker's virtuosic variations on the La Monica folk song, and graceful pieces by Paul Peuerl, Johann Schenck, and George Philipp Telemann.

This short-and-sweet 45-minute concert is suitable both for adult fans of Baroque historical performance and for young students and their families. At the venue there's free lot and on-street parking, along with ADA ramp access.

ADMISSION is by free-will offering at the door (cash or check to SHAK); we suggest $5-20 per person. Performers’ families and all music teachers and young students are welcome for free. No one turned away for lack of funds.
