"Turn on original sound." That's a button you might notice when teleconferencing on Zoom. It's used by musicians, allowing their instruments to flow forth freely without the Zoom speech filters that often get confused by music.
But it's also an appropriate description for Lyra Baroque, the Twin Cities-based chamber orchestra that performs in the "HiP" style.
What is "HiP"? It stands for "historically informed performance," meaning the musicians use instruments similar to those played in the Baroque era of the 17th and 18th centuries. Gut strings, wooden flutes, harpsichords — Lyra aspires toward the original sound.
