Monica Huggett and Matthias Maute in March

PBO's next concerts feature virtuosic music by Vivaldi for recorder and violin.

Order tickets here.

Listen here for sound samples of Matthias Maute playing the Flauto Dolce (recorder) as you've never heard before.

In Vivaldi's time, there were two kinds of flutes -- the transverse, held like the modern flute -- and the "sweet flute" or flauto dolce in Italian, which we call the recorder.

Guest artist Matthias Maute from Germany will explore the sweet tones of this ancient instrument while dazzling us with some of the 18th century's most virtuoso instrumental music.

Monica will astonish us in turn with one of Vivaldi's most bravura violin concertos, Il Grosso Mogul.
