JOHN METZ, received his bachelors and masters in piano from Syracuse
University, where he was a student of George Pappastavrou. He then
taught for ten years at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, where he was
Pianist in Residence. In 1978 he left Concordia to pursue a DMA in
harpsichord at The Juilliard School, where he also studied accompanying
with Martin Isepp and Samuel Sanders. In 1980 he joined the ASU
faculty, teaching piano and harpsichord. While at ASU he built up a
considerable harpsichord studio, and an early music program specializing
in Baroque music. He and his wife Barbara located the previously
unknown six cello sonatas by the early American composer Rayner
Taylor, and recorded and published them with assistance from the
Herberger College of Fine Arts. Professor Metz took early retirement in
2004 and moved to Waterford, CT, where he teaches piano, and continues
as Artistic Director of the Connecticut Early Music Festival. As a
harpsichordist he has recorded for Summit and Soundset.
BARBARA METZ, studied cello with Professor Altis Teickmanus at the
Hochschtile fur Musik in Freiburg, and then with Claus Adams and
Gordon Epperson in the United States and currently with Jason Duckles.
She has performed on cello and viola da gamba with the Phoenix
Symphony, and served as principal cellist with the Mesa Symphony and
the Phoenix Chamber Orchestra. She has also performed with the
Renaissance ensemble Musica Dolce, the Phoenix Bach Choir, Ensemble
Versailles, the Connecticut Early Music Festival and in solo recitals in
Korea, New York State, Connecticut, Florida, Oklahoma, and South
Carolina. She and her husband John have performed widely together and
have published and recorded the six cello sonatas of the early American
composer Rayner Taylor. Barbara also had a successful career as RN in
the Maricopa County Hospital ICU Trauma Center in Pheonix. In 2004
Barbara retired from her position as Faculty Associate with the early music
program at Arizona State University. She now resides year-round in
Connecticut where she teaches cello and performs locally, most recently as
principal cello with the Saltmarsh Opera Company in Rhode Island.
