This was an amazing experience! The Hutchins Consort was unlike any other classical music event I've attended. The Harp soloist was also wonderful - usually the harp is something that is an "add to" in a full symphony so I've never experienced anything like this. The venue was also perfect - I felt like I was sitting with them on stage. The sound values were unbelievable.Written on Mar 07 2012

This group of musicians is terrific. I have seen them before and they never fail to please. There is a bit of humorous interaction with the audience which is very well received.Written on Mar 06 2012

About the Ticket Supplier: Hutchins Consort
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.
