Gail Hernandez Rosa (Baroque violin, viola, vocals) and Daniel Turkos (contrabass, cittern/Irish bouzouki, vocals) are accomplished and renowned early music practitioners who joined forces to create a new, global way of approaching Baroque/classical and folk traditions and how they have evolved through time, presenting music with unorthodox instrumentation and connection. For this program, they will perform Latin American Baroque music, Vivaldi, Mozart, Celtic fiddle music, and more. PLUS: their own arrangement of the Grateful Dead tune Uncle John's Band - a Baroque take on the original tune - as well as Bach Minuets and Gigue from the first Bach cello suite - with newly composed music to complement Bach's original composition.&nbsp;

Gail Hernandez Rosa performs with American Bach Soloists, Washington Bach Consort, Philharmonia Baroque, Bach Collegium SD, leads Lumedia Music Works and has an active career as a soloist &amp; chamber musician.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As a Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteer, you can profoundly impact the life of a child in foster care who has experienced abuse or neglect. Children with a CASA volunteer are more likely to succeed in school, adapt to change, and are half as likely to re-enter the foster care system later.
Join our Zoom Informational Session to learn about the process of advocating for a child in foster care and the commitment and responsibilities required to be a CASA volunteer. No special education, experience, or background is needed. Training spots are filling up fast. <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMod-murTMpG9VGSvpepA3O2pwno-YY8fBj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sign up now</a> and make a positive difference in a child's life!
