Helicon’s 89th Symposium features the world’s foremost virtuoso on the nearly forgotten instrument, the cornetto, Rome-based American, Bruce Dickey. The cornetto is a wind instrument fashioned out of a tube of curved wood wrapped in leather. It has finger holes like a recorder and a small mouthpiece like a trumpet. Its haunting tone bears an uncanny likeness to the human voice, and though not widely known today, the cornetto vied with the violin for virtuosic dominance in 17th-century Italy.

This program offers a rare opportunity to hear this fascinating instrument showcased with the violin in beautiful, ancient music of the Italian Baroque. It will be an evening of musical discoveries of exceptional beauty and invention.
