On Sunday, September 29th at 4:00 p.m., the USF School of Music will feature a faculty/guest recital 

by the Bay Baroque Ensemble, the leading Baroque ensemble in the Tampa Bay area.  Organized by 

long-time USF faculty member Dr. John Robison, the concert will feature USF adjunct professor Anne 

Marie Scotto (harpsichord), guest artists Patrick Baran (violin) and Theresa Villani (viola da gamba), 

and guest soprano Maggie Coleman; John Robison will perform on several instruments, including 

Baroque oboe and recorder.  The faculty/guest event will feature music by some of the finest 

Baroque composers from the late seventeenth to mid-eighteenth centuries, including Johann 

Sebastian Bach, George Philipp Telemann, and Tomaso Albinoni. The Bay Baroque Ensemble, 

which is the only group in the Tampa Bay area to consistently play on replicas of historical 

instruments at one of the most common Baroque pitches (A = 409), performs on replicas of the early 

eighteenth-century two-keyed oboe, the recorder, viola da gamba, and an Italian-style harpsichord.
