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.
