Mission
THE MISSION OF THE HUTCHINS CONSORT IS TO PROVIDE UNIQUE MUSICAL AND EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCES WITH THE EIGHT SCALED VIOLINS OF DR. CARLEEN HUTCHINS. WHICH ARE A CULMINATION OF 500 YEARS OF RESEARCH INTO ACOUSTICS OF VIOLIN FAMILY INSTRUMENTS. TO PERFROM PIECES SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN FOR THIS ENSEMBLE AS WELL AS ARRANGEMENTS OF TRADITIONAL REPERTORY; TO DEMONSTRATE THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN THESE AND TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTS; TO FACILITATE THE COMPOSITION AND ARRANGEMENTS OF MUSIC SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SONIC PALETTE THAT THE INSTRUMENTS AND THEIR PERFORMERS CREATE; AND TO MAKE PERFORMANCES AVAILABLE TO A WIDE AND DIVERSE AUDIENCE.
