Rehearsal attendance

I love your Baroque chamber music!
It's elegant, beautiful, and, fresh. And your ensemble plays it so exquisitely.

Authentic and Memorable

Every time I have seen Worthy Waites, it’s like I’m transported back in time due to their incredible music-making and overall commitment to curating an authentic experience. I saw them at Sherwood Forest Faire where they were one of the only musical groups committed to playing only Medieval music, making them a unique and important contribution to the fair. I would recommend them for a fun and memorable wedding!

Worthy Waites of Whimsy, Totally Worth It!

Worthy Waites of Whimsy is an early music ensemble without parallel. With a repertoire that moves easily from medieval to Renaissance to Baroque, their greatest strength is imbuing their performances with a regard for history, yet never losing the sense of beauty and fun the music requires. I recommend them for weddings, church services, or gatherings among friends.
