Review for Wayward Sisters:
Since 2009, Wayward Sisters has dazzled audiences across the United States, bringing distinctive freshness and intimacy to music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The ensemble’s performances have earned it appearances on concert series coast to coast.
In 2011, Wayward Sisters won the Early Music America/Naxos competition, a nationwide search
for new early music talent. The group’s debut CD was released on the Naxos label in March 2014.
Members of Wayward Sisters have studied historical performance at Oberlin Conservatory, Indiana University, and The Juilliard School. The name “Wayward Sisters” refers not only to Henry Purcell’s vivid conjuring of Shakespeare’s witches, but to the group members’ far-flung lives and continuing commitment to making music together.
