Program
- Ludwig van Beethoven, Violin Sonata No. 10 in G Major, Op. 96
- Kaija Saariaho, Tocar for violin & piano
- Béla Bartók, Sonata No. 1 for violin & piano, Sz. 75, BB. 84
Gutsy, gripping, wild, and glorious…Bartók’s first violin sonata is one of his most personal and original creations, filled with innovations inspired by the rustic folk music he collected in Eastern Europe. Kaija Saariaho forged a singular path as well, wrestling an ultra-modern language into some of the most vivid, dream-like music of the 21st century. Beethoven offers a perfect marriage of elation and intimacy, showing us a kinder, gentler side and ushering in the new age of Romanticism.
"A thousand thanks to the Chameleons for this magical evening."
