Inspired by the name for an ornament discussed by the prominent seventeenth-century composer Giulio Caccini, the early music ensemble Cascata is regularly in demand for both its compelling performances and lively outreach programs. Known for their performances of seventeenth-century dramatic vocal music and virtuosic instrumental repertoire, Cascata represents the newest generation of accomplished early music performers. The flexibility of the ensemble's vocal, string and continuo forces enables the exploration of a variety of exciting works for solo and chamber ensemble.
Cascata was in residence at Bucknell University during 2008 for a series of educational lectures and concerts. During the 2009-2010 season, Cascata was in residence at Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church in New York City. Regular Cascata projects include appearances in the ensemble members' home cities of Cleveland and Boston as well as various educational workshops and concerts throughout the country.
