S. Bach. The concert features an extraordinary new instrument as well: a lavishly decorated harpsichord modeled after instruments known to Bach himself. This program of musical duels also features Ars Lyrica core string players in a bit of tuneful fencing plus a sonorous suite, both by masters of the Austrian Baroque. Watch Musical Duels
