A Celebration of Russian Music

An evening of Russian music for violin and piano

A chance to enjoy the passion, flamboyance and sometimes quirkiness of Russian music. Alongside works by familiar composers, such as Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky, are pieces by virtuoso violinist Joseph Achron, and the jazzy Violin Sonata by Nikolai Kapustin.
