Splendor and Spotlight: The Piccolo Violin on Display

Eleanor Legault ~ piccolo violin
Lydia Becker, Lara Mladjen & Gracie Carney ~ violins & viola
Charlie Reed ~ viola da gamba
Allen Maracle ~ cello
Ezra Gans ~ bassoon
Yunyi Ji ~ harpsichord

With over half the repertoire written for the piccolo violin declared lost or incomplete, the instrument remains shrouded in mystery. This program brings the piccolo violin to the spotlight by showcasing contemporary premieres from recently uncovered manuscripts, and other unknown works for chamber ensemble and the splendacious piccolo violin.

Aquitaine is a research-based ensemble dedicated to uncovering hidden gems of the Baroque repertoire. Founded together at The Juilliard School the ensemble has performed at The Metropolitain Museum of Art, concerts presented by Silentwoods Collective, and community outreach concerts. Performing on period instruments, and often obscure ones, Aquitane presents enriching programs from music of the past.
