The Early Interval

We're excited to have Anna join us this Sunday! See you there? 👀

"I grew up in a household that always had Irish music playing," says harpist and singer Anna O'Connell, The Early Interval's special guest for their upcoming Twelfth Night concert. "When I was in sixth grade, my parents took my family on a trip to Ireland to see some of the places from which my grandparents had emigrated. It was there that I first encountered a harpist in person and what ignited my interest in this lovely instrument."

Come see Anna on January 4. More info: https://bit.ly/3KtLiSo

In the fall of 1976, Ron Cook and his friend Duane Sheets got together to play their recorders.

What started as a jam-session with friends eventually turned into The Early Interval.

Over the next 40 years, Ron grew The Early Interval into a beloved Columbus institution. Ron delighted in sharing medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music with hundreds of audiences and was responsible for creating and curating our popular Twelfth Night program.

Although Ron may no longer be physically in the audience, we know he will be with us in spirit every time we play together.

We are profoundly grateful to Ron and are honored to continue carrying on his vision.

Our deepest condolences to Janice, David, and Lauren. ♥️
