Duo Piccolo e Grande | Enzo Puzzovio (mandolino) and Stewart McCoy (theorbo)

The Lincoln and Nottingham-based professional musicians present a programme of rarely heard works on equally rare instruments. Enzo Puzzovio plays mandolino, a precise replica of the ivory and ebony 1752 original in the V&A museum. His antique hurdy-gurdy adds to an already interesting programme, and all the music is accompanied by Stewart McCoy on the theorbo.

The duo was formed in 2012 and their concerts take them nationwide as well as the International Lute Festival in Füssen, Germany. They’ll be playing music by well known composers such as Vivaldi and Scarlatti but the duo will add rediscovered works that have lain unplayed since the 18th century.
