Musicians of Ma'alwyck

Bringing history to life through provocative musical performances in the Greater Capital Region and beyond.

Musicians of Ma’alwyck was formed in 2000 by Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz to present music that might have been heard in early Albany. While period-appropriate chamber music remains central, MofM has expanded to include contemporary works, commissions, operas, and multidisciplinary performances—all informed by often overlooked history. They have produced numerous concerts, provided performance opportunities for up-and-coming and established musicians, and have been a key part of the thriving Capital Region arts scene.
