Mispillion Performance Series will present The Valencia Baryton Project for its spring season opening concert from 3 to 4:30 p.m., Saturday, April 18, at Avenue United Methodist Church, 20 N. Church St., Milford.

The dynamic ensemble reimagines the forgotten sound of the baryton, an 18th-century string instrument blending bowed and plucked strings.

Together, they revive Haydn’s 123 trios and other works written for baryton, viola and cello, while expanding the repertoire through modern commissions. The trio has performed across Europe and the Americas, earning acclaim for their inventive programming and polished sound.

Their recordings have received international praise, bringing new life to what was once considered the pinnacle of aristocratic instruments.

The concert is free and unticketed.
