Fort Wayne Settecento Ensemble

Classical music group from Indiana in Thomas Pynchon's 1965 novel The Crying of Lot 49.

Their recording of the also fictional Vivaldi Kazoo Concerto gets played as background music in stores in the first page of the novel.

"Settecento" is Italian for "700," short for mille settecento, one thousand seven hundred (18th century).
