Recital – Violin on fire

Wednesday 1st April, 8pm

Spanish violin music offers a rich tapestry of styles, blending folk and classical traditions while drawing influence from flamenco and popular music. Its expressive range even finds unexpected echoes in the works of non-Spanish composers like Rachmaninoff and Bartók. At once virtuosic and emotionally resonant, this music is as complex as it is accessible.
