VALENCIA BARYTON PROJECT

SUN, JAN 4, 2026 @ 2PM
Presented by Temecula Presents
VENUE: Old Town Temecula Community Theater
What Jurassic Park did for the dinosaurs, the Valencia Baryton Project has done for an extinct instrument that once roamed the earth (or at least the concert halls of Europe in Haydn's day)! Haydn wrote 170 works for the baryton, including 126 for this combination. In addition VBP has commissioned accessible new works that breathe new life into the old instrument!
