This show is part of our Classical Music Concert Series!

About: The work of Ludwig van Beethoven endures today—his lyrical melodies, incisive rhythms, and crisp surprises are as bold and vital now as ever. Yet, for all its familiarity, Beethoven’s music is enigmatic and full of contradictions.

This program, featuring two works for violin (Ariana Kim) and piano (Ieva Jokubaviciute), shows his contrasts in spirit, as the relatively brief and serenely beautiful “Romance in F” stands opposite the epic “Kreutzer” sonata, a large, tense work of great virtuosity and emotional depth.

Paired as a modern foil on this program is American composer Daniel Temkin. His colorful trio “Maksimal” for violin, piano, and percussion reflects and illuminates particular elements of Beethoven’s own sensibility, as short motivic cells, fiery rhythms, poignant melodies, and bold textural shifts coalesce to form large-scale architectures and sound worlds. Heard together, these pieces reveal emotional depths that span across time, genre, and place.
