Nash Baroque was formed in 2013 by traverso player Vicki Melin, and harpsichordist, Katherine Heater to present chamber concerts in stylistically varied and engaging programs on period instruments. Having met while receiving advanced degrees from the Royal Conservatory, the Hague and Sweelinck Conservatory respectively, both are SF Bay Area musicians who join forces with an array of accomplished instrumentalists, vocalists, and period dancers, to perform repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Nash Baroque,  an affiliate ensemble of the San Francisco Early Music Society, is the recipient of several InterMusicSF award grants as well as California Council for the Arts in partnership with SFEMS.

They have performed in local Bay Area concert series, Intermusic SF’s Music Day program, the Berkeley Festival and Exhibition, and for invitation concerts in New England. Their program, Sweet Prospect was featured on WSHU CT Public Radio’s program “First Fridays” with host Kate Remington, as one of most notable concerts of 2014.
