Philadelphia: In addition to being the home of the Renaissance wind ensemble Pifaro we have
1. An excellent baroque chamber orchestra, Tempesta di Mare (Richard Stone and Gwyn Roberts, co-directors)(recording on the Chandos label). 2. Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, with 60 chamber music concerts annually, which since 2012 has successfully presented Hopkinson Smith (twice), Miguel Serdoura (also the founder of Le Luth Dore, the Paris-based producer of high quality, affordable entry-level Renaissance and Baroque lutes), Nigel North and (in conjunction with a vocal recital) Thomas Dunford. Also Anonymous Four regularly. 3. Occasional lute recitals sponsored by the Philadelphia Guitar Society. 4. A start-up early music presenting program at nearby Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey, which recently presented Nigel North and a Nigel North masterclass (with an upcoming Tempesta di Mare concert scheduled for 4 pm Sunday January 21, 2018) and continuing occasional presentations of guitar/lute faculty (Joseph Mayes and his colleagues). Possible Diego Cantalupi lute recital later in 2018 through potential collaboration with Jessica Gould's Salon Sanctuary organization (New York). 5. A sold out (400) New Years Eve performance 2017 by the Choral Arts Society (Matthew Glandorf, cond.) of Monteverdi's Vespers (1610), along with ensemble players from Tempesta di Mare and from Dark Horse Consortium.
