Classical Saturdays: Tempesta di Mare: Duos for Violins and Violas

Tempesta di Mare’s principal violist Daniela Pierson and violinist Christof Richter are sharing the joy of playing a program of duos for two violins and for violin and viola. Whether playing with teachers as students or with peers as professionals, duets let us share musical thoughts with other musicians, often “saying” through music what words cannot express. Together these consummate musicians will impart the wit of Telemann’s Swift-inspired Gulliver suite, the mischievousness of a Mozart duo for violin and viola, folk song settings by Bartók on gut strings, and their very personal musical dialect in their own duo-improvisations.
