Violinist Jaime Laredo and pianist Leon Fleisher will perform the Three Violin Sonatas by Brahms at the acoustically-superb Memorial Chapel on Thursday, March 23 at 8 p.m.
The two legendary masters will explore these complete sonatas for violin and piano, composed between 1878 and 1888. They are: Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Major, Op. 78; Violin Sonata No. 2 in A Major, Op. 100; and Violin Sonata No. 3 in D minor, Op. 108.
Laredo has been called “a musician's musician” and “a violinist of profound musicianship,” while Fleisher has been cited for his “miraculous tone.” The New Yorker calls him “one of the incorruptible legends of his profession.”
Concert tickets, free for the Union community, $25 for the general public and $12 for area students, may be picked up at the Facilities Building. For more information, call 388-6080 or 372-3651.
