2010-11 Youth Consort Members

The Música Antigua Youth Consort was formed during the 1998-99 season. Its members are select high school students who want to expand their musical horizons by exploring the world of early music. The students are able to try a variety of period instruments, including the recorder, viola da gamba, cornetto, harp, harpsichord, and others.  The group gives at least one concert each year in the spring. If you are interested in hearing this talented group of young people, please contact Música Antigua for their performance schedule.
