NVFA

The New Violin Family Association is an international group of musicians, scientists, instrument makers and music lovers, people who want to share in the challenging possibilities opened for the musical world by a consort of eight violins of a new type, from treble to concert bass... In October 2009, the Hutchins Consort & The New Violin Family Association were merged. It was Carleen Hutchin's desire that the Hutchins Consort assume the responsibilities of the New Violin Family Association and assume all facets of this organization's operation upon her departure. Just two months after Dr. Hutchins passed away, this merger was completed. The New Violin Family Association lives on as an integral aspect of the Hutchins Consort's mission to illuminate Carleen Hutchins' important work as a luthier and acoustician, with particular focus upon the development and building of her octet of New Violins.
