Repast has been described as “a graceful, energetic ensemble” by the The New York Times, which also cited the ensemble’s “vital performances” and “robust” playing.Since 2004, Repast has presented a concert series in New York City that engages audiences with innovative, thematic programs of great music, both known and unknown, from the Baroque period. Repast, meaning a meal or a feast, plays on the idea that a concert should be delicious and satisfying. The core ensemble of period instruments includes violin, cello, bassoon and harpsichord, and is regularly augmented with additional musicians to perform a wider variety of repertoire.The central focus of the ensemble is to provide New York City audiences with thrilling programs of chamber music from the Baroque period in its concert series, with performances in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Repast has appeared at venues across the country, including the Miller Theatre, the Getty Center (Los Angeles), Bargemusic, Miami Bach Society, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and Peak Performances. The ensemble also enjoys collaborating with performing artists in other fields, such as their recent performances of Purcell’s “Chacony” with the Richard Alston Dance Group.Repast’s musicians are committed educators and have presented workshops and lecture-demonstrations at the College of William and Mary, Columbia University, the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, Baruch College, and NYU’s School of Continuing Education.The ensemble’s first CD is aired frequently on radio stations nationally. A new recording of their own chamber arrangement of Bach's Goldberg Variations was released in 2019.
