Actually, the ensemble chamber group Musicians of Ma’alwyck has been ahead of the curve. For over twenty years, they ve been performing music in historical buildings that were inhabited in the same era the music was created.
They just released a new cd, “Hyde Hall and the Silver Goddess: Operatic Brilliance of Auber, Bellini, Meyerbeer and Rossini.” The cd was recorded at Hyde Hall in Cooperstown. It is a space where the same music was performed when the house was inhabited by the Clarke Family in the 1830s and 40s.

While many bands have been on pause during the last year, The Musicians of Ma’alwyck has found a way to keep playing, even recording a new album along the way.
“We sort of cobbled together a way of coping with it even though we can’t have in-person audiences,” said Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, director, and violinist.
On Friday, the Scotia-based group will release “Hyde Hall and the Return of the Silver Goddess: Operatic Brilliance of Auber, Bellini, Meyerbeer & Rossini from the Drawing Room” an album recorded at, and in part inspired by, the sprawling Cooperstown estate.
