Nato: Béla Bartók Solo Violin Sonata


In 1944, Béla Bartók completed his final work, the
Solo Violin Sonata, Sz. 117. Written for virtuoso
Yehudi Menuhin, it was premiered in New York in
September that same year. And it has been
challenging violinists ever since. Written around
the same time as Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra,
the Solo Sonata presents some of the finest
musical ideas from the modern classical era. In
addition, Nato will be presenting Eugene Ysaÿe’s
Sonata No. 2 from the Six Solo Sonatas for Violin,
Op. 27, in addition to the delightful Solo Sonata
from Sergei Prokofiev, Op. 115, written for violin
alone, or for many synchronous violins.

Helene Zindarsian & Kerrilyn Renshaw: Journey of a Rose ~ Tales from the Garden and Beyond


Come along with us this afternoon as we trace the steps of the journey of a rose...she will reveal her dreams and her loves, and will take you to visit some of the roads that she has traveled along the way...

Music by Edvard Grieg, Stefano Donaudy, Carlos Guastavino, George Gershwin, Earl Zindars, and more.

Helene Zindarsian is admired for a voice that “goes straight to the heart of the listener." A native San Franciscan, she made her professional debut as the soprano soloist in Mahler’s Des Knaben Wunderhorn with the San Francisco Ballet Company after being “discovered” in Italy during an impromptu performance in a Sienese palazzo.
