Vincent Lionti passed away on April 4 of Covid-19


Vincent Lionti was a beloved member of The New Baroque Soloists, as well as a longstanding member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and a conductor for a youth orchestra. He was an excellent violist and very gracious and kind. 
Mr. Lionti always looked forward to coming to Washington and immensely enjoyed performing with the NBS at the Washington Friends of Music concerts. His elegant performances, eloquent introductions of pieces and players and the wonderful and humorous anecdotes he shared with the audience will be dearly missed. He was a class act and will always be remembered with great admiration and appreciation.
At the recent New Year's Day concert, he played Telemann's Largo Viola Concerto so exquisitely, it moved the audience to tears. 
The next WFM concert will be dedicated to his memory.
