Get ready for more vocal music at Albuquerque Baroque Players’ concerts this season.
Vocalists have performed at one or two of the ensemble’s concerts in a given season, but for the 2015-16 season vocalists will be guests at all four concerts.
“I really like performing with a singer who has a text. It’s different than just doing instrumental music,” said Susan Patrick, the ensemble’s harpsichordist.
The first concert of the current season will feature acclaimed tenor Derek Chester, who sang with the Albuquerque Baroque Players last year. An assistant professor of voice at the University of Northern Colorado, Chester has soloed at the Staunton Music Festival and the Colorado Bach Festival.
