Ensemble Galilei is a small ensemble specializing in a wide range of music for their particular instrumentation, and includes Isaac Alderson (uilleann pipes, Irish flute, whistles, tenor saxophone), Jesse Langen (guitar), Kathryn Montoya (recorders, whistle, shawm), Jackie Moran (banjo, bodhrán, egg shaker), and founder Carolyn Surrick (viola da gamba). They celebrate their 35th anniversary with a double-album recorded over the course of two years and encompassing a wide range of musical styles, cultures, and time periods – a combination of the musicians’ individual interests and the group’s focus. The program features 47 tunes across 34 tracks with an abundance of jigs, reels, traditional tunes, and early music, as well as original works by members of the ensemble.
