UtenteMusicalOfferingLtd

Welcome to the library of Musical Offering, Ltd. We are a non-profit organization that offers enriching concert experiences in intimate and historic venues.

For over 20 years, Musical Offering, Ltd. under the guidance of Artistic Director Joan Parsley has been a leading producer of early music in the Midwest. The group has received critical acclaim and become the recipient of national education awards.

"Our mission is to foster appreciation for early music (ca. 1580-1850) through professional performance on historical instruments, education activities, and community outreach."

Anyone who has attended our concerts and lecture series knows that the life, nature and music of J.S. Bach and his circle are at its core. The great masterpieces of the Baroque era have been lovingly rendered on period instruments that our organization has acquired and carefully maintained. More recently, beginning with the "In Harmony: At Home with Biedermeier" program, our scope was expanded beyond the Baroque repertoire to include the great composers of the Classical and Romantic eras, including Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. The following year's series "A Little More Hausmusik" offered the chamber music of 19th century London, Paris and Vienna for a musical season of sheer delight.

Musical Offering, Ltd. sponsors both local and nationally acclaimed artists in smaller, intimate venues. Scholars from a cross of disciplines provide the background for a musical-cultural immersion. With our programs, the emphasis is always on artistry, education, intimacy, a nod towards authenticity, and the passion of today's musician.
