December 5, 2026 ~ My First Cassette Tape: Vivaldi & Boccherini

from $30.00

Saturday, December 5, 2026 at 2:00pm & 5:30pm in the Carriage House

Guy Fishman, L'Armonia Boston's Artistic Director, fell in love with both the cello and baroque music when his first teacher gifted him a cassette tape of cello concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and Luigi Boccherini, a composer compared to Haydn and called ‘the Devil’ for his own stunning cello playing.  What's a cassette tape, you ask?  That's okay, Millenials are warmly welcomed here, too.  Join them for long-loved virtuoso music by these two 18th-century masters, selected from amongst Guy's earliest musical memories.  It will be performed on instruments sounding as Antonio & Luigi knew them to sound, by seasoned experts on period instruments alongside gifted up-and-coming performers from New England Conservatory's Pratt Early Music Program.
