- **Event Name**: A Show-and-Tell Baroque Cello Bonanza
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Learn all about the baroque cello in this special presentation by area cellist Joachim Woitun. 

Our musical instruments have changed significantly over time as musicians, composers and builders brought new sound ideas to the fore. These changes for the cello involved its size and shape as well as its various parts such as the strings, the bow and the bridge. Many performers today wish to make their efforts sound (as much as can be determined) like it sounded when written. To this end, aside from the configuration of the instrument, there is also the matter of pitch. Today most of the music we hear is pitched at A = 440 Hz (Hz denotes the number of vibrations per second) but this number did not even begin to be standardized until the middle of the 19th century, and in the baroque era was usually considerably lower (ca 1/2 tone) than it is today.

Joachim will bring three different instruments in this presentation:

- Violoncello piccolo with stringing E-A-D-G @415 Hz (as heard during the concert on January 25)
- 18th c. baroque cello (rebuilt by Gabriela Guadalajara) with stringing A-D-G-C @415 Hz
- Cello with French baroque set up, stringing G-D-G-C @392 Hz

Joachim will provide a short introduction on how he acquired each instrument, the thoughts that went into configuring them (stringing, pitch, etc), and various bows and their playing characteristics. Movements from baroque sonatas will highlight the instruments, with Greg Biss accompanying on harpsichord.

There is no cost to attend; donations are gratefully appreciated.
