Celebrated violinist Rachel Barton Pine has developed another, recent love. It’s the viola d’amore—the “viola of love”—a 14-stringed hybrid of the violin and viola da gamba that set 17th-century hearts aflutter. In his treatise on violin playing, Leopold Mozart wrote that it sounded “especially charming in the stillness of the evening.” Pine’s curiosity in the instrument developed in her late teens, and three years ago she began performing on it publicly. In this concert, Pine, early music ensemble Ars Antigua, and director Jerry Fuller showcase this cousin of the violin in a romp through its repertoire, including works by Telemann and Vivaldi.
