| 17-Jul-2012 Wilton's Music Hall | Peter Sheppard Skærved's Soundbox 2: Flourish in the Harmony |

| 9-Jul-2012 Wilton's Music Hall | Peter Sheppard Skærved and guests: Soundbox at Wilton's Music Hall |
 Wilton's Music Hall in London describes itself as "the city's hidden stage", and rightly so. Nestled in a tiny alleyway in an otherwise dull part of the East End, it's very easy to miss, especially given its outward, derelict appearance. "Niche, arty, folksy, quirky", as I wrote in my notes, really doesn't cover it.

| 15-Mar-2012 Carnegie Hall, Zankel Hall | L'Arpeggiata: Inspired by the Baroque |
 Though they play Baroque music, the ensemble L’Arpeggiata is more like a jazz band than a traditional orchestra. Anchored by a continuo (rhythm section?) led by artistic director and theorbist Christina Pluhar, they are joined by various other instrumentalists, singers, and even dancers, fitting each of their projects. Using improvisation and felicitous combinations of traditions, they explore various forgotten repertoires from the Neapolitan tarantella to, on Thursday evening at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, the Baroque mystery play.

| 20-Oct-2011 Carnegie Hall, Zankel Hall | One Charming Night with Andreas Scholl and The English Concert |
 17th Century Europe witnessed the rise of Italian opera and French ballet. These forms, and the distinct musical language of their composers, were highly influential on the music of England and Germany. The cosmopolitan music of Henry Purcell made up the bulk of The English Concert’s program, along with two instrumental works by his German contemporaries Heinrich Biber and Georg Muffat.
