Violinist Augusta McKay Lodge joins forces with Adam Cockerham and Arnie Tanimoto for Back to Gut: Tracing the Violin, an evocative program that journeys into the instrument’s early history through the rich, intimate sound world of gut strings. Centered on 17th- and 18th-century repertoire, the program traces the violin’s evolution from its earliest expressive forms to the refinement of the Baroque and beyond, highlighting the improvisatory spirit, rhetorical nuance, and vibrant colors that defined its beginnings. Together, these three leading voices in historically informed performance bring a sense of immediacy and discovery to this music, offering a vivid exploration of the violin’s origins and the enduring artistry of its earliest repertoire.
