Valencia Baryton Project
The second concert in the PSO's new, 4-concert chamber series at Trinity features the unique sound of The Valencia Baryton Project. The baryton is a cross between the viol da gamba and lirone, with 10 resonating and plucked strings down the back of the instrument. The baryton gives the traditional string trio an entirely new dimension.
“Delightfully inventive... The trio prove themselves a well attuned team, always alert to the music’s mercurial nature.” –The Strad
