The Escanaba Public Library is pleased to welcome Esky Baroque, the area’s early classical chamber music group, for a special recital on Saturday, February 21 at 1:00p.m. At the library recital, members of the group will perform in a variety of small ensembles, each showcasing their individual instrumental or vocal talents.
“This event will feature small ensembles, and smaller scale works in a more intimate setting than the larger, formal concerts,” says director John Ignatowski.
This event is free and open to the public and is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Escanaba Public Library. No registration is necessary.
