Performance Overview

Faculty members Kevin Lawrence and Dmitri Shteinberg traverse classical, romantic and modern sonatas for violin and piano. Listen for the sublime slow movement in Beethoven’s Sonata No. 6 and for Norwegian folk song melodies in Grieg’s lyrical Sonata. American composer John Corigliano’s demanding work (winner of the Festival of Two Worlds Prize for Chamber Music in 1964) excites with whirlwind meter changes and a breathtaking perpetual motion theme.
