Beautiful Music NOW – July 12, 2022

What do you do when your mother is a talented, internationally acclaimed violinist? When you’re Sylvia Pine and your mom is Rachel Barton Pine, you start making music with her — playing violin as well as some lesser known instruments, and composing music. I love checking in with the delightful mother-daughter musicians periodically. Today Rachel and Sylvia provide Beautiful Music on rebec, which is a bowed string instrument that dates back to medieval times. Sylvia composed this ancient-styled piece — Saltarello #1 CALL OF THE FAIRIES — in 2020 at the age of 8. Click on the link below if you’d like to learn more about the rebec.
