Concerts include music by well-known such as Bach and Handel and not so well-known composers such as Leclair and Benda. The ensemble features many local artists as soloists in the Edmonton concert series and has commissioned three works by Edmonton Allan Gilliland.

There he majored in and organ performance graduating with a Bachelor of Music Degree with distinction in 1978.

That same year he became Organist and Choir Master of St. Andrew’s United Church in Edmonton. In 1980 he formed the Alberta Baroque Ensemble and has held the position of Artistic Director ever since. In 2001 Schieman was inducted into the City of Edmonton Cultural Hall of Fame. In 2002 he was one of several prominent arts figures to be awarded a Commemorative Medal for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, acknowledging Canadians who have made a significant contribution to their community.
