I saw the Tufts Arab Music Ensemble and Early Music ensemble joint show. These shows are free because the performers are students, but they could easily outplay a lot of small city pro ensembles.
There were a lot of cello variants on stage, like various sizes of
viola da gamba. Some looked like levelled up cellos, some looked like viola XLs that you hold on your lap. The variation kind of reminded me of
jokers in Balatro.
The Arabic pieces had a lot of good riffs, and I kept thinking, these are all public domain; I can totes lift these.
In other kind of off-key thoughts, there was a good piece called Mille Regretz (spelled with a z), and I kept thinking of a Ali G saying
mille mille mille regretz.
