Family Ties: Featuring music by members of the Bach, Purcell, and other prominent musical families of the baroque!

Courante was founded in 2017, when Cape Cod musicians David Gable (violin), Jan Elliott (recorder) and Molly Johnston (viola da gamba) discovered a mutual affinity for beautiful and challenging chamber music from the baroque era. Brittany Lord (harpsichord) soon joined the group, completing the "basso continuo" portion of the ensemble.
