Baroque Music Fills Glasgow High School’s Auditorium

The Northeastern Arts Network wrapped up their Glasgow season on March 14 with Baroque Music Montana, founded by artistic director and violinist Carrie Krause in 2015. Featuring the world’s top Baroque specialists playing on period instruments, the music, which was composed between 1600 and 1750, still resonates with audiences today.

Prior to performing at Glasgow High School that evening, Krause, along with John Lenti who played the theorbo and baroque guitar, visited Hinsdale and Glasgow Schools during the day. With a meal provided to the artists by Jan Keiser prior to the event, Krause found out she had relatives from her dad’s side of the family living in the area, so she was able to meet them as well.

As a modern violinist, Krause serves as a concertmaster of the Bozeman Sympathy and she has performed as concerto soloist with the Fairbanks Symphony, Casper Symphony, National Repertory Orchestra, String Orchestra of the Rockies and the Bozeman Symphony. Lenti is regularly beheld playing lute, theorbo and baroque guitar with lots of orchestras, choirs an opera companies on both coasts of the United States, as well as in the interior, non-coastal part and a few, coastal or otherwise in other countries. While orchestral work as an accompanist and concerto soloist comprises most of his career, chamber music is his primary interest.

Work has already begun in securing acts for next seasons’s Northeastern Arts Network with the first date scheduled for October.
