Erik Andersen is a graduate of the Aaron Copland
School of Music at the City University of New York where he completed studies in modern cello under the direction of Marcy Rosen and additional studies in historical performance with Lisa Terry. Today, he is equally at home on both the modern and baroque cello as well as viola da gamba and enjoys engaging with students in various modes of music-making. His other interests include language learning, cooking, and English country dancing.

Kate Goddard (baroque violin) is a New York City-based multi-instrumentalist who performs on the violin, viola and French horn. Her season highlights have included performances with Early Music New York, Yale Schola, the American Handel Society at Princeton, guest concertmaster engagements with the New Westchester Symphony, and a collaboration with Lincoln Center Education with her woodwind quintet. She keeps an active schedule as a music teacher, maintaining about forty students in her studio.

Derek Tam is a founding member and harpsichordist (and occasional conductor) for MUSA, a San Francisco-based Baroque chamber ensemble. His fortepiano trio, the Costanoan Trio, was chosen to perform at the 2018 Early Music America Emerging Artists Showcase. He has also served as principal keyboardist for the symphonies of Berkeley, Merced, Modesto, Napa Valley, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz. www.DerekSaihoTam.com
