Get High on Music - It's Legal!
Sound or Sight? Which comes first? Maybe you will be surprised to learn it is Sound.

Hearing is the quickest of our senses. We hear faster than we see, smell, taste or feel. How is that possible?
Strings Attached - Duetto Viello
Suzanne Corey-Sahlin and Gunnar Sahlin, a harmonious husband and wife team, occupy the Norwalk Symphony’s principal viola and cello chairs.

Together they perform as Duetto Viello (contract “Viola” & “Cello”). Dynamic and dedicated musicians and teachers, the two are very a part of our local classical music scene
SYMPHONY PEDIA
Bowed String Instruments

Plucked string instruments such as the harp and the lyre go back thousands of years. Stringed instruments played with a bow are more recent, the oldest being the Arabic Rebab (7 th to 8 th century CE). It is the ancestor of today’s violins, violas, cellos and double basses.
