<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wonderful development took place in Bologna, Italy around 1680. String makers there discovered a new technique of wrapping gut strings in metal, making possible an instrument with the lower octave range and power of a bass violin, but without the long thick strings which inhibit virtuoso playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus the violoncello as a solo voice was born!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s program features some of the earliest works written for the cello, from Bologna and its environs, as well as important musical centers in Naples, Rome, and Venice. The performers will speak about each work on the program and if you haven\u2019t seen or heard a theorbo before, you are in for a treat. Billy Simms will introduce his extraordinary giraffe-like instrument and demonstrate both its accompanimental and solo capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
