The Affiliates of SFEMSSince 1980 SFEMS has assisted groups that share the Society's commitments to music for educational purposes, artistic excellence, a historically informed approach, and operation on a not-for-profit basis.How to become a SFEMS affiliate. The AffiliatesAlice's Renaissance String BandAlice's Renaissance String Band was formed five years ago by a small group of early music enthusiasts who had met each other at SFEMS events over the years. Meeting regularly in each other's homes, the members worked very hard to improve their ensemble skills, technique and musicality. Alice has performed for friends in house concerts, for church services and for hospital inpatients. In the last two years, Alice has expanded the group from time to time to include one or more professional musicians and singers and has presented public concerts at local venues. Most exciting, Alice has produced fully staged productions of two of Purcell's operas, "The Fairy Queen" and "Dido And Aeneas," and is planning a third for April 2009, Purcell's "King Arthur." Alta SonoraAlta Sonora is a Renaissance wind band, playing shawm, slide trumpet, sackbut, recorder and dulcian. The group formed in 2001 and specializes in the alta capella repertory of the 15th century, with forays into 14th and 16th century music as well. Besides presenting concerts, educational programs for adults, and accompanying vocal ensembles, the group presents a program aimed at middle school classes, with demonstrations and explanations of both the music and a variety of wind instruments.

The Euphora ProjectThe Euphora Project has made its goal not only to present historically informed concerts, but also to inhabit the spirit of this ancient music. Using historical interpretation and ornamentation from both printed and manuscript sources, The Euphora Project performs Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music. The group also performs new music written for the ensemble in a style similar to the compositional practices of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. Dominic Schaner (lute & theorbo) directs The Euphora Project. Formed in the spring of 2010, The Euphora Project made its debut at the Berkeley Early Music Festival with following performances at the Early Music Vancouver Summer Festival. During the 2010-2011 concert season, The Euphora Project toured southern California to critical acclaim with a concert at the San Diego Museum of Art in the historic Balboa Park presented by the San Diego Early Music Society. The Euphora Project continues to delight audiences with imaginative programs and breathtaking performances.

Flauti DiversiFlauti Diversi was founded in 1992 by Frances Feldon at the San Francisco Early Music Society's Recorder Workshop with the mission of presenting a variety of early chamber music for historical woodwinds. It has since received an enthusiastic reception at its performances, including those at the SFEMS Recorder Workshop, MusicSources, Marin Early Music Festival, in conjunction with the Berkeley Early Music Festival, Davis Community Church, St John's Lutheran Church (Sacramento), Kensington Unitarian Church, Music at Old St Mary's, Music at St Alban's, Trinity Chamber Concerts and the former Hausmusik concert series. From 1992 until 2002, Flauti performed baroque solo sonatas, duos, trios and quartets, recreating the virtuosity and subtlety of 17th- and 18th-century European music. From 2002 to 2007, under music director Frances Feldon, Flauti Diversi produced its own concert series "Baroque and Beyond," and its musical mission expanded to include contemporary works. Flauti has been an affiliate of SFEMS from 2005. The ensemble includes a variety of performers and instruments appropriate to the program repertoire, be it Renaissance, Baroque, contemporary or popular, which allows Flauti to incorporate a novel panoply of sounds and colors on a wide variety of baroque woodwinds and other historical instruments. In addition to the more usual recorder and baroque flute, its members have performed on less common instruments such as chalumeau, baroque clarinet and bassoon, supported by a continuo of harpsichord and viola da gamba. Performers have included many Bay Area professionals. Flauti Diversi, with core members Frances Feldon, David Morris, and Katherine Heater, recently made its first recording, a program of Boismortier's complete Op 37, a collection of elegant trio sonatas for baroque flute, viola da gamba and chamber organ by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. Contact: Frances Feldon (510)527-9029 or franfel@aol.com Galax QuartetHallifax & Jeffrey Peter Hallifax and Julie Jeffrey are viol players who first came together to
play the music of the French high baroque tradition, specifically the music
of Forqueray, Marais, Dollé and Couperin. Following the success of their
first and second seasons, including concerts on the SFEMS series with guest
artist Jakob Lindberg, and playing the complete works of Forqueray at the
Berkeley Festivals in 2006 and 2008, as well as touring, they have expanded
their repertoire to include English 17th century music. For information: pjhallifax@earthlink.net Healing MusesMusic for Healing is a program designed by Healing Muses to create a peaceful sound environment for hospitals, clinics, hospices, convalescent homes, retreat centers and homebound individuals. Using a combination of Medieval, Renaissance, Celtic music, American folk tunes and spirituals, Music for Healing promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety during stressful hospital stays and procedures. Patients and staff experience the power of music to calm and soothe in a noisy, high-anxiety environment. Medical research as well as the musicians’ experiences have shown the benefits of therapeutic music in soothing patients, alleviating anxiety, and managing pain. Healing Muses is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization whose professional musicians offer this kind of healing music, played on harp and flute, to Bay Area hospitals, clinics, hospices, convalescent homes and other institutions providing care for the sick, handicapped and elderly.www.healingmuses.org Healing Muses, 1185 Solano Ave., PMB #153, Albany, CA 94706 Junior Recorder SocietyThe local chapter of the Junior Recorder Society was founded in the fall of 1997 to provide opportunities for young recorder players to play music together. Teachers Louise Carslake, Hanneke van Proosdij and Letitia Berlin felt it important for children to discover the fun of playing recorders together outside of their private lessons or school classes. Partially supported by the East Bay Recorder Society and SFEMS, our chapter is also a member of the national Junior Recorder Society, which connects young recorder players throughout the U.S. Our monthly meetings are open to all children who have a basic ability on the recorder. We play a wide variety of music from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, and sometimes we experiment with improvisation. Many of our players can play more than one size of recorder, and thanks to the generosity of many SFEMS members we are able to lend instruments to children who do not yet have their own. Performances in 1998 included enthusiastically received recitals for the ARS East Bay Chapter in March, and at the American Recorder Society's reception at the Berkeley Early Music Festival in June. Enrollment has grown steadily, and we are greatly encouraged by the number of recorder players who have joined us recently.

The Northern California Chapter of the LSA continues the activities of the national chapter on a local level. We sponsor informal weekend seminars throughout the year in and around the San Francisco Bay Area, which are open to all local lute players or other instrumentalists. We also sponsor lute concerts in conjunction with these larger seminars. A unique characteristic of our group is that outside our individual LSA membership, we charge no other local dues, and anyone can join by an email or note to one of our members. Our members are mostly amateur players, consisting of both men and women. Many are professionals, with families and otherwise busy lives, but are still drawn to their interest in this old, attractive and fragile instrument. Music professionals, musicologists, singers, guitarists, and others interested in the lute are also welcome to join. The Northern California chapter of the LSA does not put out a monthly newsletter, but is maintained by an email mailing list and a web site, http://www.mclasen.com/lute/balute.html. Our email mailing list helps to keep members informed of our concerts and seminars, as well as advertising lute-related concerts and activities of SFEMS and other groups.
