Incantare is excited to bring you Session 3 of INCANTARE TALKS this January! Introducing our newest topic, inspired by your questions and feedback:
All About the Instruments!
Incantare is an ensemble of violins and sackbuts with continuo. This is an unusual combination, and for our third session, we're going to take a deep dive into the instruments themselves. What makes a sackbut a sackbut? What exactly is a Baroque violin? What does it mean that we play with "continuo"? Where did we find our instruments, who makes them, what pitch(es) do they play in, and what's the difference between our instruments and modern instruments? Why does our specific combination of instruments work so well together?
Join us for our third installment of INCANTARE TALKS, where we answer these questions and many more!

What is INCANTARE TALKS?
INCANTARE TALKS is a new series of live monthly Zoom sessions inspired by YOU. The past two years of performances, masterclasses, presentations, and workshops has given us the opportunity to get to know our audiences throughout the country, and we have been inspired by a wealth of wonderful questions. However, while we love these traditional means of musical connection, it's rare that we actually get to sit down with our audience and chat at length.
INCANTARE TALKS gives us the opportunity to do just that! Join us for interactive discussions about music, violins, sackbuts, historical performance, music history, and what we do! We’ll chat, play some music videos, answer your questions, and maybe even tell some interesting gig stories. Sessions are approximately 50 minutes in length. Join us monthly as part of our live Zoom audience or tune in on Youtube to follow along. We can't wait to see you in January!
