DESCRIPTION:The Santa Cruz Baroque Festival presents\n\nRARE STRINGS\nFeaturing John 
 Schneiderman (Baroque lute,  11-string Russian guitar & 19th-century 
 7-string guitar)\nwith Endangered Instrument Exhibit (Intermission ~ 
 Charles Sutton, curator)\n\nSaturday, March 12, at 7:30pm\nUCSC Music 
 Center Recital Hall (UCSC Campus)\n \nThe Baroque Festival resumes its 2011 
 Season, Endangered Musics, with Concert II: “Rare Strings.” Traveling 
 by lute and guitar, virtuoso artist John Schneiderman will offer concert 
 goers a musical promenade from Moscow to the Dresden court and the Parisian 
 salon (including a brief escapade to Vienna). This program of music from 
 the 1700s and 1800s includes selections by Weiss, Alexandrov, Sychra, 
 Coste, and Mertz, played on a collection of “rare strings”: Baroque 
 lute, and a 11-string Russian guitar, and a 19th-century 7-string guitar, 
 each a different “endangered” musical animal, were brought to the brink 
 of extinction by emerging rival species, or changing environmental 
 conditions. In addition to the concert, the Baroque Festival offers its 3rd 
 annual “(Endangered) Instrument Exhibit” at intermission, curated by 
 luthier Charles Sutton.\n\nConcert II takes place on Saturday, March 12, at 
 the UCSC Music Center Recital Hall beginning at 7:30 pm. Tickets can be 
 purchased through the UCSC Ticket Office (www.santacruztickets.com, 
 831-459-2159), the Civic Center Box Office, and the SC Baroque Festival 
 (www.scbaroque.org, 831-457-9693). Admission: $23 general, $17 senior, $6 
 college student, $3 K-12. Subscriptions for 3 or 5 concerts are also 
 available.\n\nThe press about John Schneiderman:\n\n"Schneiderman's 
 performance was dazzling. His fluent, unassuming virtuosity was entirely at 
 the service of the music; and the dizzying gigue which closed the work left 
 this listener breathless." (Times Colonist, Victoria British 
 Columbia)\n\n“Schneiderman’s tone is clear as a bell, and it turns 
 delicate textures into sparkling jewels.” (Soundboard)\n\nCharles Sutton 
 about the Instrument Exhibit:\n\n“Things are shaping up nicely for the 
 exhibit. We will be showing several instruments, less known to the general 
 public though somewhat familiar to fans of early music. Each will have a 
 brief historical description with interesting facts (. . .). As an 
 instrument maker and historian, I have visited instrument museums 
 throughout the world. If we, as early music devotees, continue to perform 
 our music on authentic instruments, I feel that it is important to give our 
 audiences a first hand, close-up look at them (. . .).”\n\nMore
