Echoing Air, Inc. is a chamber ensemble from Indianapolis dedicated to exploring and presenting music featuring singers with Baroque instruments, with an emphasis on music of the English Baroque. Most concerts feature two countertenors, two recorders, and basso continuo. The name “Echoing Air” is inspired by “Hark, the Echoing Air”, a well-known song by Henry Purcell. The ensemble’s repertoire encompasses music of many European countries spanning from Medieval times to the present. This special concert at Westminster “Music’s Dwelling” will focus on music from the Church, Court, Chamber, and Theater of the 16th and 17th centuries.
