The University Baroque Ensemble is open to students, non-enrolled students, and community members. Instruments include violin, viola, cello, bass, recorder, flute, keyboard and guitar (or lute); vocal performers also are welcome. Interested double reed or brass players should contact Professor Miller directly. Instruments are provided by the University. Lessons and coaching are provided to aid in bridging the differences inherent in the instruments and techniques.

New students must audition. Preference is given to enrolled students who will join for both Fall and Spring semesters. Those interested in Music 168H (Early Music Performance) lessons likewise should arrange for an audition.

To audition, contact Professor Miller at dhmiller@berkeley.edu(link sends e-mail). Players and singers should prepare one or two excerpts of Medieval, Renaissance, or Baroque music that demonstrate both fast and slow playing/singing. Auditions can be arranged in person or can be submitted as video recordings. show less
