Pekka Kuusisto is an acclaimed violinist. Gabriel Kahane is a composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist. Both classically trained, both comfortable inside and outside the box, they wander those sometimes strange, sometimes quirky, but always beautiful borderlands where creativity thrives.They come together in a new collaboration, commissioned for recording and performance by an international partnership including Musica Viva Australia. The relaxed, intimate evening is an exploration of what it means to be artists in the 21st century; artists for whom honouring a classical heritage is as important as chasing the new. Be fascinated, entertained, moved and changed by what they make.
PROGRAM:
Program to include Traditional Scandinavian folk music along with works from KUUSISTO; KAHANE; Nico MUHLY; J. S. BACH and others.
*Co-commissioned by Musica Viva Australia, San Francisco Performances, Chamber Music Northwest, Schubert Club, and The 92nd St Y New York
"Pekka Kuusisto…surely has the most personal sound of any classical violinist now alive "
