Consort Music of John Okeover

John Okeover is a lesser-known composer and church musician of the 17th century from the south of England. His surviving chamber music, including several fancies, a pavan, and an anthem, is typical of the period and features close imitation and conversational charm. We will explore the music on its compositional merit and apply viol technique to enhance and highlight its more delightful features. Music in 5, 4, and 3 parts will be presented with doubling as desired — or required.

Erik is a graduate of the Aaron Copland School of Music at the City University of New York where he studied historical performance with Lisa Terry. He performs with the San Francisco based ensemble HIP Forum. He performs on all sizes of viola da gamba, including the pardessus de viole, as well as on baroque and modern cello. He also enjoys playing and teaching modern violin and viola. His wide range of experience informs and adds complexity to his musical approach, helping to uncover articulations and colors not so readily found on the single-instrument path. Erik strives to find the voice of each instrument, each composer, and each musical work, sharing the discoveries of those interactions with his audiences.
