SoHIP welcomes back Handel and Haydn Society cellists Sarah Freiberg and Colleen McGary-Smith, who formed the duo Tutti Bassi in 2012 to explore the rich repertoire of baroque cello sonatas and duos on original instruments. The duo chose some favorites to record on their 2022 album "Have Cellos, Will Travel" and is excited to share these 18th-c. musical gems with SoHIP audiences. The program includes works by Johann Ernst Galliard, Giovanni Batista Cirri, Stephen Paxton, Willem De Fesch, Francesco Barsanti, the slightly better-known Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689-1755) and the very popular Anonymous–-in the form of cello duos of popular 18th-century French tunes published in Paris.
