Early Music America
Violinist Alice Culin-Ellison grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, went away for college, and came back. Now she’s the common thread between Bourbon Baroque and Incantare, two early-music groups making some noise, as they say, both at home and beyond.
Of all things, what got Culin-Ellison in the door with Louisville-based Bourbon Baroque was a pitch from her mom to the ensemble’s founders, John Austin Clark (keyboards) and the late Nicolas Fortin (violin).
"She said, 'My daughter is learning the baroque violin and you need to consider her.' She was very forceful. It was funny," said Clark about the encounter, which took place after a Bourbon Baroque concert around 2010.
