Now, 2018 will see the Farewell Tour of the Flanders Quartet as a quartet so the individual members can move to other projects. As a stop in their Farewell Tour, Desert Pipes, the Phoenix ARS chapter (www.desertpipes.org), is sponsoring a full-day workshop on Saturday, March 3, 2018. We are thrilled to have all four members – Tom Beets, Paul van Loey, Bart Spanhove, and Joris van Goethem (left to right in photo) – teaching us. Each individual member of the FRQ is an accomplished artist in his own right. Tom is a teacher in music schools in Belgium. He is director of the largest early music and recorder course in the Dutch language area, Blokfluitdagen and editor or the Dutch recorder magazine, ‘blokfluitist’. His- torical performance practice of renaissance and baroque music is very important to Paul, but as a member of the Flanders Recorder Quartet he also plays a great deal of contemporary music. He is also much in demand as a soloist and has played with various other early music ensembles and orchestras. Bart’s book The Finishing Touch of Ensemble Playing was published in 2000, and The Finish Touch to Practising was just published by Moeck. Joris is a gifted arranger and his arrangements have even made their way to Hollywood! The FRQ perform in Tucson on Sunday afternoon, March 4, on the Arizona Early Music Society series. Workshop Fees See registration form on the next page. Early bird registration fees available through February 8, 2018. For more informaiton, email [email protected] or visit www.desertpipes.org.

Presents: Songs of Salamone Rossi Salomone Rossi (C 1570 – 1630) was a Jewish composer, violinist, and concertmaster at the Gonzaga Court in Mantova. While his instrumental works are splendid examples of the sensuous and fiery musical language of the early Baroque, it is his experimentation with setting Hebrew liturgical text that is perhaps one of the most astonishing facets of his career. During the period, there was great debate over the potential role of art music in the synagogue,
