Piano and violin string together sonatas by Brahms, Bartók & Bacewicz.

The Hop's pianist-in-residence joins forces with the first violinist of the Apple Hill String Quartet, Hop Resident Artists in 2022/23, for a program of sonatas. Brahms' second Violin Sonata, written during a happy summertime sojourn in Switzerland, is a radiant work, recognized as challenging both technically and expressively. Bartók's Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano is one of the Hungarian master's most experimental works, where complex rhythms and quasi-atonal harmonies prevail. The Polish violinist-composer Bacewicz wrote vivacious, sensitive and mischievous music, often described as 'constructivist neoclassicism' (her chamber ensemble works Contradizione was commissioned by and premiered at Dartmouth in 1967). Join us for this extraordinary evening featuring timeless compositions and brilliant performances.
