Musicians of Ma'alwyck: Home

Musicians of Ma'alwyck is a flexible-size chamber music ensemble formed in 1999 by Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz.

In residence at the Schuyler Mansion, a New York State Historic Site, and at the Schenectady County Community College, the group performs regularly on concert series in Upstate New York presenting programs specializing in the music of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries.

The core instrumentation consists of violin, cello, guitar, vocalist, and flute; with a second violin, viola, oboe, bassoon, harpsichord or piano added, as demanded by the repertory.

This season we presented our first subscription series in addition to performing at the Marcelle Sembrich Opera Museum, historic Tribes Hill Presbyterian Church and the Vorheesville Public Library. Musicians Of Ma'alwyck has performed on National Public Radio and recently returned from performing in Atlanta for producer Norman Lear, celebrating his purchase of the last private copy of the Declaration of Independence.

We have been selected by audition to be a performing arts ensemble for the Capital Region Center for Arts in Education for the 2004-2005 season.
