Their program\, Ground &\; Fire examin es the act of improvisation as reflected in repertoire ranging from the Mi ddle Ages into the late 17th century. Improvising over a structured musica l framework is an ancient art and by the early Baroque\, this pairing of c onstancy and fantasy had evolved to include rich\, often spectacularly vir tuosic variations\, some written down and some played ex tempore. The duo explores this exciting repertoire\, bringing urgency and vitality to Medie val\, Renaissance and Baroque music focused on the art of improvisation an d variation. Composers include William Byrd\, Arcangelo Corelli\, Jacob va n Eyck and others and the repertoire ranges from Medieval dances to Baroqu e sonatas.\n\nAnne Timberlake is one of this country's foremost recorder p layers\, with multiple recordings and performances across the country. Jer emy Ward is a mainstay of Chicago's Early Music scene and performs regular ly as a soloist and with many of that city's top ensembles. They met as cl assmates at Oberlin College where they both studied in the school's famed Early Music program. Since that time\, each has gone on to performing care ers that have taken them around the world. Their work as a musical duo is a recent development and EMMo is thrilled to bring these two spectacular p erformers to St. Louis listeners.\n\nEMMo's six-concert Main Stage Series takes place at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Ladue MO.
