Search - organ and harpsichord Patrick Parker, soprano Megan Stapleton, soprano Julia Fox :: Houston Baroque: My Soul Sees and Hears! Music of Buxtehude and Handel

Houston Baroque, founded in 2014 by Patrick Parker with a core quintet of professional singers and period-instrument players, presents its first recording, pairing works of Buxtehude and Handel. The group performs with the 2014 Martin Pasi organ at First Evangelical Lutheran Church, Houston. Houston Baroque concertizes with music of a given place and time in three genres: vocal, instrumental chamber music, and solo organ. Together, all three genres encompass the departed culture and aesthetic Houston Baroque revives and honors.
