Founded in 1990, Ensemble Galilei is an ensemble of players from both classical and Celtic backgrounds, playing Irish and Scottish airs and dance tunes, early and medieval music, and original compositions. The Ensemble takes their name and inspiration from the life of composer Vincenzo Galilei, whose influence, some four hundred years ago, helped restore a vital element of passion to the music of the day. This concert marks the 25th anniversary of the group’s first performance at St. Margaret’s.

The group has released a new CD, titled “From Whence He Came” that will be on sale after the concert. For more information, contact James Fitzpatrick, Director of Music, at james@st-margarets.org or call 410-974-0200.
