Farallon Recorder Quartet will perform a program of woodwind music spanning several centuries on Sunday, March 18 in a concert presented by Brasstown Concert Association at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown.

The musical quartet from San Francisco will perform works by composers primarily ranging from fifteenth to seventeenth centuries on recorders ranging in size from six inches to six feet. The program will also include works by more modern composers.

Recorders are flute-like, sweet-toned instruments that originated in the thirteenth century.

"Farallon Recorder Quartet gives inspiring performances of a vast and varied repertoire extending across time and genre," stated Karen Borchers, BCA President. "Bach and Senfl, Ockeghem and Koomans; sedate, wild, sublime, cutting edge and traditional, Farallon Recorder Quartet does it all with style."

The concert on Sunday, March 18 will begin at 3:00pm in the Keith House at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. No reservations are required and seating is by general admission. Adult tickets are $12 and student tickets are $6. For more information, call 828-389-0033.
