La Fiocco is Bucks County's new period instrument ensemble specializing in early music performance. Our mission is to introduce people of all ages to music of the Baroque and early Classic eras. Our principal activity is presenting formal concerts and informal demonstrations of the music of the 17th and 18th centuries, to educate general audiences on the repertoire, esthetic and cultural-historical context of the music performed. La Fiocco also performs new music by early-career composers who write music specifically for the musical instruments used in the 17th and 18th centuries.
La Fiocco's vision is to reach a wide audience base, extend our community outreach, and offer varied and more ambitious programs, including new works written by local composers for period instruments.
The ensemble is named in honor of the South Netherlands composer Joseph Hector Fiocco (1703-1741). La Fiocco is a member of the Delaware Valley Guild for Early Music.
