The Esterházy Machine (Washington, DC):
Kenneth Slowik, baryton & fortepiano
Steven Dann, viola & violin
Myron Lutzke, violoncello

Don’t miss a rare opportunity to hear the unique ‘baryton’ in concert, with the Vancouver premier of “The Esterházy Machine”, one of the resident ensembles at the Smithsonian Institution. The baryton is a bowed string instrument in the viol family with a range of sympathetic strings that can also be plucked; it was the favourite instrument of the wealthy Prince Nikolaus Esterházy “the Magnificent”, a member of the Hungarian Esterházy family who was a patron of Haydn for nearly 30 years. In this concert, The Esterházy Machine will share some of the 123 rarely performed trios which Haydn wrote for this instrument, as well as some of his fortepiano sonatas.
