Hutchins Consort: Grand Finale
890 Balour Drive, Encinitas, 92024
Cost: $20 - $35
The last concert series of the season will feature the Tchaikovsky serenade and Jerry Folsom on French Horn. The Hutchins Consort plays on the eight scaled violins of the violin octet designed and built by famed luthier Dr. Carleen Hutchins. The instruments are the first successful attempt to create an acoustically balanced set of instruments that can sound truly like violins across the entire range of written music. With instruments ranging from the tiny treble violin, tuned one octave above the standard violin, to the gigantic large bass violin, tuned one octave lower than a 'cello, the Hutchins Consort produces an astonishing palette of sounds.
