On Sunday, February 9, 2020 at 3pm, Music at St. Paul’s continues its 32nd season with “The Flute’s Garden of Delights, a concert featuring recorderist Anne Timberlake with lutenist Adam Cockerham.

Anne Timberlake writes, “In 1649, the Dutch carillon master and recorder player Jacob van Eyck got a raise, ‘provided he would now and then in the evening entertain the people strolling in the churchyard with the sound of his little flute.’ Born blind, van Eyck was a creative improviser and a lover of tunes, weaving shimmering structures from the simplest of melodies, and eventually publishing Der Flutyen Lust-hof, or The Flute’s Garden of Delights, still the largest collection of solo music for recorder.”

With Van Eyck’s garden as a point of departure, recorderist Anne Timberlake and lutenist/theorbist Adam Cockerham explore music for recorder (and some stolen fruit!) from centuries near and far, with music by Van Eyck, Schop, Dowland, and others. Just like van Eyck, they’ll follow thematic threads as they lead us to musical delights from the heart of, and far beyond, the recorder’s golden age.

The 3pm concert will be preceded by a pre-concert conversation with Anne Timberlake at 2:30pm. Tickets for the concert are $20 (18 and under are FREE) and are only available at the door on the day of the concert.
