Beneath a Tree - Baroque to Folk connects and inspires audiences through musical innovation. Diverse programming dissolves the barriers between genres and exposes listeners to their similarities -- our vibrant music is for everyone. Beneath a Tree - Baroque To Folk (BAT) is a multi genre ensemble based in San Francisco, CA, featuring the core due of Gail Hernández Rosa and Daniel Turkos. Along with various collaborators, BAT performs eclectic programs on historical instruments, including baroque violin, viola, cello & contrabass, harpsichord, baroque guitar & theorbo, and a four course cittern/Irish bouzouki, whose bright and cheerful timbre provides a unique counterpoint to the gut-strung instruments. The performance of early music is a noble and necessary act in preserving musical traditions. Similarly, the same care is present in all genres. Beneath A Tree explores the interrelationships found between composed and traditional music from the baroque period, brings these idioms together and combines them with historically informed performance (HIP) practices, instruments and performers.
