Uncover a Lost Sound: The Valencia Baryton Trio Unearths Classical Treasures!
Transport yourself to the court of Prince Esterházy, Joseph Haydn’s greatest patron, as the internationally-celebrated Valencia Baryton Project performs in January. Led by barytonist Matthew Baker, the trio brings to life the magnificent 180 plus works of Haydn and others written for the baryton, a rare 18th-century bowed string instrument, with a distinctive wide neck that is hollowed out to accommodate a second set of resonant metal strings behind the fingerboard. A favorite of critics and audiences across the Americas and Europe, this ensemble’s exquisite chamber music promises a soundscape unlike any other.
Acclaimed for performances praised as delightfully inventive by The Strad and impeccably performed by Ritmo, the ensemble performs and creates new works for this forgotten instrument. Their artistry is featured by Naxos Records and heard in venues across the world. Join us for a mesmerizing afternoon of rediscovered music.
