VCH presents: Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony
Gil Shaham, violin
Adele Anthony, violin
Begin your journey on the other side of the world, dancing to the rustic folk tunes of Eastern Europe, and arrive at post-World War I America in the Jazz Age. Virtuoso couple Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony brings to life the intimate dialogues between two violins, presenting a refreshing repertoire for violin duo including selections from Béla Bartók’s 44 Duos for 2 Violins and an arrangement of jazz favourite Sweet Georgia Brown. Technical fireworks are abound as they tackle Wieniawski’s demanding Etudes-Caprices, Op. 18.V
