An Evening with WilhelmineAn Evening with Wilhelmine

The Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents An Evening with Wilhelmine, with John Schneiderman on baroque lute, cellist William Skeen and baroque flutist Jeffrey Cohan on Thursday, May 17 at 7:30 PM at Vashon United Methodist Church at 17928 Vashon Highway SW. The program revisits the musical establishment of the court of the lutenist and sister of flutist King Frederick the Great, Wilhelmine, who in the late 1730’s with her husband the Margrave of Bayreuth (who also played the flute) completely transformed that city into the important cultural center that it is today.

The suggested donation, a free will offering towards expenses, will be $15 and $20. Youth 18 and under are free. For further information the public is requested to call (206) 463-9804.
