Cameo Baroque
Cameo Baroque
Founded in 2014, Cameo Baroque — Leslie Stroud, traverso (Baroque flute); Beth Hilgartner, recorders and voice; Ernie Drown, harpsichord; and Laurie Rabut, viola da gamba — is CAF's "in-house" ensemble, and specializes in the music of the Baroque era performed on period instruments. In addition to participating in CAMEO Arts Foundation's Benefit Concert program, which underwrites benefit concerts supporting efforts as wide ranging as literacy programs, warming shelters, fuel assistance, food shelves and homeless shelters, disaster relief, solar energy, and asylum seekers, Cameo Baroque also provides, by arrangement, musical enrichment programs to schools and other institutions. Contact Beth Hilgartner (beth@cameoarts.org) for more information.
Cameo Baroque is dedicated to bringing some less well-known masterworks of the Baroque to audiences; most programs include at least one work that has been transcribed and/or arranged by Beth Hilgartner from 17th and 18th century manuscripts available online from the International Music Score Library Project (imslp.org). These editions are available to the public through Cameo Baroque Editions.
