“Between Worlds”: Avi Avital Plays Bach and Vivaldi

In his own words, "the mandolin is probably one of the most underestimated instruments in the world," but Avi Avital is on a mission to change that. As one of the world's leading mandolinists and the first to be nominated for a Grammy Award, the "explosively charismatic" (New York Times) Avi brings unbridled passion and virtuosity to his performances. In this program, he plucks seamlessly between centuries, exploring both Baroque and folk traditions as he makes his SPCO debut.
