McIntyre Hall Presents

Odd Pearl Consort

Sunday, February 7     2:00pm

The fourth concert of the Masterworks Chamber Muic Series: The Odd Pearl Consort consists of flutist Miguel Rodé, violinist Bonnie Wilkens, viola da gambist Amy Warren, and harpsichordist Randall Wilkens. They have played together since 2019, when they were introduced to each other by Linda Melsted, a leading figure in Seattle’s early music scene. Performing on period instruments, the Odd Pearl Consort is on a quest to explore the vast repertoire of trio sonatas and chamber music by Telemann, Bach, Handel, and other 17th and 18th century composers throughout Europe. They perform regularly in community venues, retirement homes, and house concerts throughout the region, and present an annual Baroque Vespers program at Bethany Covenant Church in Mount Vernon.

The name “Odd Pearl” refers to the original meaning of the word “Baroque,” which according to Merriam-Webster “came to English from a French word meaning ‘irregularly shaped.’ At first, the word in French was used mostly to refer to pearls. Eventually, it came to describe an extravagant style of art characterized by curving lines, gilt, and gold.” Hence, the name Odd Pearl.
