Our studio was full tonight with the 34 singers of the Utah Baroque ensemble, along with a piano, cello, and harpsichord! The Utah Baroque Ensemble specializes in the performance of early sacred music, with an emphasis on Johann Sebastian Bach. They’ve toured in England, Wales, Italy, and Germany, and they’ve performed in well-known sacred places such as St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster, Bath Abbey, the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon and St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. Martha Sargent has conducted the Ensemble since its founding in 1987, and shares with host Tim Slover some favorite memories of her labor of love. Also featured in our interview is singer Chris Bradford, who shares his musical background including performing in Cairo as a boy.
