SALISBURY, MD---The Peter and Judy Jackson Chamber Music Series at Salisbury University continues this fall with lutenist Ronn McFarlane and flautist Mindy Rosenfeld 7 p.m. Thursday, September 26, in the Great Hall of Holloway Hall.

Founding members of the Baltimore Consort, they have performed on albums including One Morning, The Baltimore Consort Live in Concert and Gut, Wind and Wire. In concert, they offer a variety of Renaissance, Baroque, Celtic and original music.

McFarlane is a lutenist with over 30 recordings on the Dorian label. His original compositions are the focus of the album Indigo Road, on which Rosnefeld also performed. The CD received a Grammy Award nomination for best classical crossover album.

In addition to performing with the Baltimore Consort, Rosenfeld is a flutist with San Francisco’s Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. A resident of California, she is a frequent guest artist with other West Coast early music ensembles, dividing her time between teaching, playing and family.
