About the program:

As the name implies, the violoncello piccolo is a smaller version of the cello, usually with five strings or an even-smaller four-string version. Through concertos by Vivaldi, Leo, Sammartini, and Tartini, the ensemble explores the unique and captivating sound world of the violoncello piccolo during a time when composers wrote both “galant” melodies while still enjoying rich harmonies and expressive counterpoint.
