You are invited to discover rare and riveting music as Piet Koornhof (violin) and Jana Mathee (piano) take centre stage to perform three diverse sonatas for violin and piano from the USA, France, and the Soviet Union.
Beginning with Robert Russell Bennett’s “A Song Sonata”, a piece known for its lyrical melodies and intricate harmonies, the programme will also feature Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s captivating Sonata No. 5, a composition acclaimed for its evocative themes, rich harmonic textures, and profound depth. The evening will be concluded with Francis Poulenc’s sonata, celebrated for its unique blend of ferocity, charm and elegance.
