Continuing its survey of the vast literature of the concerto grosso, NYBI turns to a collection of firsts to start its third season this Wednesday 9/10 at LPR. Beginning at the genre’s roots with Stradella, Il Grosso Nuovo will feature Telemann’s Viola Concerto, Concerto for Recorder and Viola da Gamba, Vivaldi’s Concerto for Viola d’amore and Lute, and Huang Ruo’s brand new Distant Mountain for period instruments.

In anticipation of the show Wen Yang of NYBI put together a playlist of some of the pieces you’ll hear this Wednesday. Check them out and then join us to see them performed in person!
