Anima Baroque at SAS

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School will host Anima Baroque Music Ensemble at 7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 29, in McCrory Hall for the Performing Arts on the SAS campus. The concert is free and open to the public. Anima will present “Postcards from Orpheus.” 

This is an unusual opportunity to see Anima Baroque perform in this region, as most of their concerts take place in New York City. The musicians specialize in music for small ensemble and voice from the baroque and late Renaissance era, played on period instruments. 


The group features soprano Beth Anne Hatton, baroque violinist Vita Wallace, viola da gamba and lirone player Motomi Igarashi and baroque harpist Christa Patton. Anima’s performances are fresh, sincere, joyous and powerful, and connect today’s listeners with the music of 400 years ago.
