Milton G. Scheuermann, Jr.

Milton has been the co-host (with Thais St. Julien) of Continuum since 1976. Continuum is an hour long program of all kinds of early music recorded by groups around the world. Milton, an architect by trade, harbors a life long passion for vocal and instrumental music of the 10th though 17th centuries. He co-directs a professional early music ensemble, Musica da Camera where many of the over 100 instruments played were constructed from original manuscript drawings. Additionally, Milton has a passion for the music of Richard Wagner and for magic as a performing art.
