Hutchins Consort playing Adagio for strings

The Hutchins Consort seen here played Barbers Adagio for Strings at St. Mark Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach. The concert was called "The Killer B's" because all the songs were written by composers whose names start with 'B'. They were really amazing! The lady on the left playing the soprano violin, Beth Folsom, even began to cry as she was playing this song. The guy on the absolute left, Christopher Woods, was very entertaining, even eccentric. He definitely brought humor into the event. Check them out if you can!

This is a description of the consort from their website at http://www.hutchinsconsort.org/index.php

The Hutchins Consort plays on the eight scaled violins of the violin octet designed and built by famed luthier Dr. Carleen Hutchins. The instruments are the first successful attempt to create an acoustically balanced set of instruments that can sound truly like violins across the entire range of written music. With instruments ranging from the tiny treble violin, tuned one octave above the standard violin, to the gigantic large bass violin, tuned one octave lower than a 'cello, the Hutchins Consort produces an astonishing palette of sounds.
