Since 1980, Larry has been a member of the Baltimore Consort, an internationally acclaimed early music ensemble specializing in popular music of the Renaissance era. The Consort has released sixteen recordings on the Dorian and Sono Luminus labels, and maintains an active touring schedule throughout the US, Canada, and Europe of 8-10 concerts annually. Larry co-directed one of the Consort’s current touring program, “Food of Love: Songs for Shakespeare,” which has played to enthusiastic audiences coast-to-coast and abroad. Larry principally plays bass viola da gamba in the group, but occasionally switches to Renaissance winds—recorders, krummhorns, and gemshorn–to add extra color. Visit Baltimore Consort for more information.

Larry has been a frequent faculty member (and past director) of Early Music Week at Pinewoods near Plymouth, MA, and leads workshops for various early music organizations. He has been on the faculty of the Amherst Early Music Festival since 2022.

Larry is the Music Director of the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Lehigh Valley (UUCLV) where he plays keyboard and directs the Beacon Choir.

New News!!

My new recording titled “Pierrot and Friends: Four Commedia Concerti” was released this summer on the Naxos American Classics label. The four concerti are “Pierrot” (bassoon), “Columbina” (violin), “Innamorata” (flute), and “Harlequin” (bass trombone.) The four works were recorded last summer by the Lviv National Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra directed by Maestro Theodore Kuchar, and feature four outstanding soloists from Ukraine, as well as Luke Sieve, bass trombonist with the Cleveland Orchestra.

The recording is available to purchase as a CD or online at numerous streaming platforms, including Amazon, Naxos, Presto Music and others. Click here for more information and “teaser” tracks on the Naxos website.
