The Lute Song Trio is a subset of The Baltimore Consort, a musical ensemble that performs a wide variety of early music, Renaissance music and music from later periods. They began in 1980 as a group specializing in music of the Elizabethan period, but soon expanded their repertoire to include Scottish music, broadside ballads, and Italian, French, and other European music of the 16th and 17th centuries. Their music bridges the genres of classical and folk music. The Lute Song Trio subset consists of Ronn McFarlane (lute), Mary Anne Ballard (viola da gamba), and Danielle Svonavec (soprano vocals).

Jeremy Kahn: "Born near Chicago, I am a proud holder of a B.M. (yuk!) from Boston's New England Conservatory. I lived in New York City for twelve action-packed years, and now my family and I live near Chicago, in Oak Park, Illinois. Although I am mainly a jazz pianist, having played in jazz-type venues around the world, I also play on recordings that motivate you to consume your favorite products, and I also play in pit orchestras for some of your favorite theatrical extravaganzas. "I've played with Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Joni Mitchell, Phil Woods, Teramasu Hino, Charlie Haden, Aretha Franklin, Barbara Cook, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and everyone in between. You will doubtlessly want to spend much of your copious free time exploring All Things Me. Thanks for your interest, and please tell your friends, neighbors, colleagues, and enemies." |
