Full program notes

This program is centered around an original 18th century manuscript owned by our very own keyboardist, Ben. Discovered in Italy, it contains over a hundred pages of cello music, including previously unknown works by Gabrielli and Scarlatti (performances of those are forthcoming!) as well as many other pieces by composers we kinda know, ones we don't really know at all and even some by the prolific composition master "Anonymous" (anyone want to claim those?) Much of this music has likely not been played publicly in about 300 years and we are delighted to be the first to bring it to you!

These tunes may have been gathering dust for a few centuries, but trust us, they deserve to finally see the light of day. Come and see for yourself!
