The Aulos Ensemble plays period instruments and includes Christopher Krueger, flute; Marc Schachman, oboe; Linda Quan, violin; Myron Lutzke, cello; and Arthur Haas, harpsichord. Formed in 1973 by five graduates of the Juilliard School, the Aulos Ensemble displays great artistic intelligence, based on informed scholarly insight, along with an uncompromising standard of excellence. The ensemble has played for nearly all of America’s major chamber music presenters. Its performances have helped to create a new appreciation of the rich rewards of original instrument performance and have earned admiration from America’s most respected critics, who call Aulos concerts “scintillating,” “virtuosic,” “rare and delightful” and “authentic baroque performance at its best.”

This special concert will feature the newly-refurbised Boise State Department of Music double-manual Flemish-style harpsichord, made in 1986 by Peter Fish. The Auslo Ensemble will perform “A Little Morning Music,” a free student- and family-friendly sample of music, at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 27 in the Morrison Center Recital Hall.

For more information, call Jeanne Belfy at (208) 426-1216.
