Boston Shawm & Sackbut Ensemble
A favorite of Boston audiences for many years, the Boston Shawm & Sackbut Ensemble has given concerts all over the United States, as well as at the Tage Alte Musik in Regensburg, Germany, and its members have all worked closely with numerous leading early music ensembles, including the Gabrieli Players, Taverner Players, Piffaro, Boston Camerata, Waverly Consort, Apollo's Fire, and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. The Ensemble has provided the trombone section for several period-instrument orchestras, and can be heard on Boston Baroque's recordings of Mozart’s Solemn Vespers and Mass in C (harmonia mundi USA), Mozart’s Requiem, Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers, Lost Music of Early America, and Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride (all on Telarc). The Boston Shawm & Sackbut Ensemble can be heard on several recordings with the Boston Camerata on the Erato label, and various combinations of its players have made significant contributions to recordings by the Taverner Players, Gabrieli Players, and Ensemble for Early Music.


The group includes Marilyn Boenau,
a Gettysburg High School graduate. Now a professional musician, she lives in Watertown, MA, just outside Boston.
Other members of the group include Dan Skillman, Mac Ramsey, Douglas Kirk, Michael Collier and Cecile Gendron.
