RossoRose Duo: End Notes – Late Sonatas for Violin and Piano by Debussy, Beethoven and Shostakovich

Late works can be a personal and telling glimpse into a composer's state of being. With this in mind, RossoRoseDuo presents “End Notes” – an exploration of last violin and piano sonatas by Debussy, Beethoven and Shostakovich. From euphoric to pastoral to deeply resigned, the three chosen sonatas are guaranteed to make you ponder the wonder of life and joy as well as experience the inevitability of loss and suffering.

Program:
Sonata for Violin and Piano in G Minor, L. 140 (1917) – Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Sonata for Piano and Violin in G Major, No. 10, Op. 96 (1812) – L. van Beethoven (1770 – 1827)
Sonata for Violin and Piano in G Major, Op. 134 (1968) – Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)

Claudia Villela and Kenny Werner - SOLD OUT

Kenny Werner and Claudia Villela will perform new improvised music with a Brazilian flavor inspired from their duo CD Dream Tales. For Villela and Werner, music is a spiritual exercise to be embraced openly, without premeditation.

''Claudia Villela is one of the most savvy improvisers I ever improvised with. She totally surprised me on the day of the recording when we just started playing without any plan. Whatever the chords I suggest, she put a part to it that made it sound quite intentional. The result is a CD that sounds through-composed. The idea of moving free like that would unnerve most singers, but she really made it happen. Claudia is just a very special musician.'' -- Kenny Werner
