Ysayana

Eugène Ysaÿe’s legacy as an innovative violinist, a heart-felt composer, and a fierce advocate for other musicians remains a shining example of an artist active in his community almost a century after his passing. “Ysayana” is a program dedicated to his spirit, including two of his own Sonatas for Solo Violin, Faran’s original arrangements, and contemporary works in the spirit of Ysaÿe’s all-encompassing virtuosity.

60’ run time, optional intermission

Sei Solo

When he wrote his 6 Sonatas and Partitas, Bach sub-titled the works “Sei Solo” - to be alone. Yet the violin alone contains a multitude of voices, textures, and colors. With music by Kreisler, Wiancko, Faran, and of course, Bach himself, this program celebrates the solo voice of violin playing throughout the centuries.
