Musings - in Concert

January 9 · Berkeley Piano Club

Join Beneath A Tree — Baroque to Folk for two special concert presentations celebrating Musings, our newest album exploring the musical spaces where baroque, folk, improvisation, and contemporary composition meet.

Musings reimagines works by J.S. Bach, Henry Purcell, and traditional folk melodies alongside newly composed pieces inspired by poetry, Latin American heritage, and the intersections of historical performance and modern creativity. The result is a sonic journey that invites listeners into a world of curiosity, reinvention, and musical storytelling.

Experience the album live before its official release and immerse yourself in the sound world that inspired this project.

As a thank-you to our early supporters, anyone who pre-orders a vinyl LP during the week of the concerts will have their name printed inside the LP packaging. Your support helps complete the final stages of the album and becomes part of its permanent legacy.

🎶 Reimagined — Original compositions built from the harmonic foundations of J.S. Bach
🎶 Uncle John’s Band — A folk-Baroque meditation inspired by Emily Dickinson and the Grateful Dead
🎶 O, Were I on Parnassus Hill — Robbie Burns meets contemporary string writing
🎶 Wondrous Machine — Henry Purcell meets the age of Artificial Intelligence
🎶 Greensleeves — A beloved folk melody transformed through baroque rhythmic play
🎶 Suite de Bailes Barrocos — Dance music from Latin American manuscripts reimagined for today
🎶 Bach Organ Preludes — Arranged for baroque viola, baroque bass, and vibraphone

Musings challenges traditional boundaries of historical performance, blending early music with folk, jazz, poetry, electronics, and new composition. The album celebrates the creative spark that arises when old worlds collide with new ideas.

This project is made possible through the generous support of our community, donors, artistic collaborators, and those who believe in the transformative power of music.
