36th Season, Natural Baroque




Saturday, November 15: Fall Organ Benefit Concert

Ushering in the holiday season, the royal sounds of a brass choir will merge with the stately sonorities of the historic Holy Cross pipe organ in a festive concert planned for Saturday, November 15 at 7:30pm.

SCBF Artistic Director Linda Burman-Hall and Bruce Sawhill will play 400 years of selected organ works, including pieces by Machaut, Cabezon, Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, Buxtehude, and J.S. Bach. The featured performing group for the event is the Santa Cruz Brass Quartet, a professional ensemble consisting of Craig Simmons and Charles Old (trumpets), John Thomas (trombone), and Kevin Blodgett (bass trombone).
