Performer bios
In demand as a conductor and historical keyboardist, Derek Tam performs regularly in the Bay Area and elsewhere. Praised for his “deft” conducting (San Francisco Chronicle), Derek appears frequently with choral and orchestral ensembles. Recent engagements include collaborations with Ars Minerva, Bay Pointe Ballet, and Oakland Ballet. A specialist on historical keyboards, Derek has been lauded as “a master of [the harpsichord]” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Recent concerto appearances include performances with Chamber Music Silicon Valley, Elevate Ensemble, and the Modesto Symphony Orchestra. Derek is also a founding member and the harpsichordist of MUSA, a San Francisco–based baroque ensemble.
Baroque violinist and violist Cynthia Black performs at home in the Bay Area and across the United States. She regularly performs with the American Bach Soloists and MUSA Baroque, and other appearances include concerts with Quicksilver, Les Délices, the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, Apollo’s Fire, and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra. She recently completed a doctoral degree in Historical Performance Practice at Case Western Reserve University and holds modern viola degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music. Her primary teachers include Julie Andrijeski, Lynne Ramsey, and Robert Vernon.
Since moving to the United States, Swiss-American cellist Frédéric Rosselet has been performing with local ensembles and music festivals such as American Bach Soloists, Musica Angelica, Live Oak Baroque Orchestra, Chamber Music Silicon Valley and Yellow Barn. Equally at ease on modern and period instruments, he enjoys exploring new repertoire for the cello and discovering early works on baroque cello and viola da gamba. Frédéric studied at both the Basel Music Academy and the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, then obtained his DMA from the University of Southern California. He is now on faculty at Santa Clara University.
