Consider joining Lauda Musicam of Atlanta, either in-person or virtually.
Lauda Musicam of Atlanta is a large Renaissance band in-residence at Holy Trinity Parish Episcopal Church in Decatur, Georgia (just east of Atlanta). This group meets in-person weekly on Mondays, 7-9 pm, August through November, then January through May. They perform at least two large concerts per year. Our matched consorts (capped reeds, flutes, viols, brass) meet outside of the regular rehearsal time and perform independently during our concerts. Another offshoot of this group is Lauda Baroque Orchestra. This newly-formed ensemble will be featured prominently this season.
Lauda Musicam also has an online component. Zoom rehearsals are held each Tuesday night at 7 pm and are planned to be somewhat duplicative of the in-person experience. I use multitrack recording and play live and give participants a chance to ask questions. Any online member is invited to perform with the in-person group for the concerts provided they prepare their music and attend a dress rehearsal the day before the concert. Visit www.laudamusicam.org to join either the in-person ensemble or the online sessions.
If you’re in the Austin (TX) area, you should definitely look up our sister organization, Lauda Musicam of Austin.
Jody’s schedule this season
Enjoy the casual outdoor environment as members Lauda Musicam’s Renaissance Band, Baroque Orchestra, and Chamber Ensembles perform a variety of music covering the past 700 years. Lauda Musicam’s concerts are family-friendly, allowing an opportunity for audience members of all ages to see the instruments up close and meet the performers after the concert. The concert is free and open to the public; attendees may donate to the St. John’s concert series.
English Masters of the Theater and Court—Lauda Musicam Baroque Orchestra
By the end of the 17th century, a growing middle class created a demand for musical and theatrical productions, while the availability of sheet music and instruments in shops resulted in a more musically-literate society. Lauda Baroque will perform selections by Henry Purcell, John Blow, and George Frideric Handel—three of the central figures in 17th and 18th century England—while also paying homage to other composers who helped bring music to the masses. Suggested donation of $20; no one turned away.
Rewind 500—Lauda Musicam Renaissance Band Concert
The 16th century was nothing short of pivotal. The invention of movable type helped usher in the age of modern music, while significant advances in science, increased global exploration, and the Protestant Reformation all helped shape the direction of the arts and humanities. Lauda Musicam celebrates the High Renaissance composers whose influences are still strong today—even if historical events weren’t always as beautiful as the music left behind! Admission is free; donations are gratefully accepted.
The Atlanta Recorder Society, a chapter of the American Recorder Society, meets on the third Sunday of each month. Jody will conduct the playing session, which is open to players of all levels.
