We’re kicking off today’s podcast with a new episode in our mini series Your Guide to the Orchestra’s Instruments.
It’s one of the most well known instruments in the Orchestra. It has so many different sound possibilities. It’s known to be an extremely virtuosic instrument. It’s an extraordinary solo instrument and ensemble instrument. It’s not a bird, or a plane...it’s the violin!
To help us explore this popular instrument, we’re joined by one of our very own FCS musicians, Byron Hitchcock, our Concertmaster.
