Erin Kathryn Ripka, violin • Joseph Ripka, piano
This program is a true classic. It juxtaposes High-Baroque solos for violin and supporting piano against fleet, passionate French Romantic duos. In the first half, a Handel sonata, Italiante and sunlit, contrasts charmingly with a Bach violin concerto’s forward momentum and broad lyrical sweep. After the pause, the urbane charm and sweetness of one of the Fauré sonatas will whisk us to 19th-century Paris, where we’ll also meet up with St.-Saëns’ ripping Introduction & rondo capriccioso. The Ripkas have hinted that they will close their duo recital with arrangements of Advent favorites. Come and hear for yourself! Seating is limited, please arrive early.
