About Amethyst Baroque
Amethyst Baroque Ensemble was formed in 2017 by Athens-based harpsichordist Dr. Alexandra Snyder Dunbar and Atlanta-based recorder player Jody Miller. Adrin Akins (countertenor) and Marcy Jean Brenner (viola da gamba), who complete the core ensemble, joined the duo in 2018 to share the rich repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries. The ensemble has collaborated with Daniel McCarthy (viola), Erik Schmalz (sackbut), Macarena Sanchez (cello), Gregory Hamilton (theorbo), and other early music specialists in concerts that range from instrumental sonatas and canzonas to vocal secular and sacred cantatas that are otherwise seldom performed in the region. Amethyst Baroque has performed as part of concert series at University of North Georgia, Piedmont College, Emmanuel Episcopal Church (Athens), and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church (Atlanta), St. Joseph Catholic Church (Macon), and St. Philip’s Episcopal Church (Brevard, NC).
