The lineup of chamber music competitors for the Santa Cruz Baroque Festival's Youth Chamber Music Competition is very impressive. The contest, now in its 9th year, annually attracts the best and most devoted young players of chamber music from our region. The range of entries is remarkable is that it spans from the Middle Ages to the present, from the 13th Century Court of Alfonso X through Baroque masters such as Giulio Caccini and Alessandro Scarlatti in the 17th C and Telemann, Albinoni and Vivaldi in the 18th, through the Romantic composers such as Schumann and Borodin, and even a 20th century composer of 'Baroque' music, Kirt Mosier. The range of instruments and groups is similarly broad, including string and mixed orchestras from Monte Vista Christian School (Shari McQueen, director), and smaller chamber groups representing students of artist-teachers representing numerous studios in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. ~ Linda Burman-Hall (Artistic Director)
