About Our Conductor: Robert Dawson Robert
Dawson began his musical education as a Lutheran choirboy, soon switched to
rock 'n roll saxophone, then abandoned music to study Renaissance history and
literature at Harvard College. He returned to music in his late twenties,
when he was captivated by the sounds of the Early Music movement, especially
the cornetto and the recorder. His
first performing ensemble, Pastime with Good Company, earned him grants from
the National Endowment and the California Arts Council. Other groups with
which he has performed include: Chanticleer, Coro Hispano, The Brass
Menagerie, The SF Contemporary Music Players,The Renaissance Faires
North and South, The Magic Theater, and Mills College. He was a featured
actor/musician in the film The Competition. For
Bay Area recorderists, his most important
contribution was his role in the SFEMS Summer Workshops at Dominican College
(now moved to Sonoma State). Robert founded three of the workshops -- the
Renaissance, Recorder, and Medieval -- and taught at and directed all three for
many years. He has also taught at the Portland and Seattle Workshops, and
lectured at the Historic Brass conclave at Amherst. September 6:

Dawson April 3: Judy Linsenberg May 1: Frances Feldon Elsa Morrison likes to get playing night music early so that she can blow it up at Kinkos
to make the reading of the notes easier. If anyone of you would like
her to make copies so that you, too, can read the music more easily,
just give her a call or email her. |
