Dear Friends and Patrons of Pro Musica Rara,
We wish you the best of health and happiness during these difficult times, and appreciate your support as the country slowly returns to normal. Out of concern for the safety of our audience and musicians, we have suspended live concerts for the time being. But Pro Musica Rara will be back--stronger than ever--with a renewed commitment to presenting engaging programming in the context of that vital experience only live music can give.
Meanwhile, tune in to WBJC 91.5 FM on Saturday, October 9, at 6:00 PM for Music in Maryland. Hear Pro Musica Rara’s “Perilous Fights” program celebrating the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812 and the musical origins of The Star Spangled Banner. This exciting program from our archives features soprano Julianne Baird, violinist Cynthia Roberts, cellist Allen Whear, and fortepianist Eva Mengelkoch, vividly narrated by WBJC’s Jonathan Palevsky. Enjoy this program, recorded live, of patriotic musical gems!
