Ayreheart is a group formed to play the original music of Ronn McFarlane. His music is a unique blend of folk, classical, jazz and bluegrass genres. Ayreheart members are Ronn McFarlane, lute, Mindy Rosenfeld, harp and flutes, Elizabeth Hungerford, vocalist, Willard Morris, bass and Mattias Rucht, percussion.
One of the most outstanding lutenists today, McFarlane has toured throughout the US, Canada, and Europe as a soloist and member of the Baltimore Consort and is a former faculty member at Peabody Conservatory. McFarlane's first CD of original compositions, Indigo Road, received a Grammy nomination for the Best Classical Crossover Album of 2009.
Pianist Haskell Small, who will share the evening's performance with Ayreheart, will perform Partita in D Major by J.S. Bach. Hailed by England's Musical Times for his "dazzlingly prodigious technique," Small has concertized with great success in the US and major European capitals, South America, Japan, and China. He is Chair of the piano department of the Washington Conservatory.
