Balmain Baroque

Balmain Baroque celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2015. The band, based in Balmain, currently features:

• Amanda Muir (soprano, baroque flute)
• Jennifer Kaye (soprano)
• Tony Eyers (recorder)
• Kahne Raja (violin)
• Lauren Salanitro (cello)
• Donn Mendoza (harpsichord)
The program at Humph Hall will feature duets from the baroque operas of Handel and others - just like a night out in 18th century London.

They have their own harpsichord, essentially the 6th member of the band. Since the beginning, Balmain Baroque has had a strong community music focus. The group comprises professional players with a common passion for the baroque repertoire. They perform at baroque pitch and their wind instruments and harpsichord are based on their baroque counterparts. The 18th century saw a great outburst of high quality chamber pieces, Balmain Baroque has picked some of the best. Come and share with the band.
