 Violinist Fiona Cunninghame-Murray, who performed alongside Joshua Bell at Davies Symphony Hall&nbsp;as part of the San Francisco Symphony’s Great Performers Series, joins pianist Aleks Shameti&nbsp;for In the Style Of, an intimate program exploring how composers draw on musical traditions of the past and transform them into something distinctly their own.
 
The evening moves from the refined architecture of Bach&nbsp;and the brilliance of Mozart&nbsp;to Enescu’s&nbsp;richly colored, Romanian folk-inspired Violin Sonata No. 3, before concluding with a collection of beloved works by Fritz Kreisler—music filled with lyricism, virtuosity, Viennese charm, and playful tributes to earlier musical styles.

<h4>Program</h4>
<h6>Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750)</h6>
<h6>Partita No. 1 in B-flat major, BWV 825</h6>
Solo piano
Bach’s first keyboard partita unfolds as a sequence of stylized dances, balancing graceful forms with rhythmic vitality and the intricate musical craftsmanship for which Bach is celebrated.
 
<h6>Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)</h6>
<h6>Piano Sonata No. 9 in D major, K. 311</h6>
Solo piano
Bright and spirited, Mozart’s D-major sonata moves between lyrical elegance and brilliant keyboard writing. Its lively outer movements surround a more intimate Andante, revealing both the grace and dramatic imagination of the young Mozart.
 
<h6>George Enescu (1881–1955)</h6>
<h6>Violin Sonata No. 3 in A minor, Op. 25, “dans le caractère populaire roumain”</h6>
Violin and piano
Written “in the Romanian folk character,” Enescu’s Third Violin Sonata is one of his most distinctive chamber works. Haunting melodies, intricate ornamentation, shifting rhythms, and striking instrumental colors evoke the spontaneity and expressive freedom of Romanian folk music while creating a musical language unmistakably Enescu’s own.
 
<h6>Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962)</h6>
Selections for Violin and Piano
<ul><li>Schön Rosmarin</li><li>Farewell to Culcullain</li><li>Liebesleid</li><li>La Précieuse (in the Style of Louis Couperin)</li><li>Aucassin et Nicolette</li><li>Praeludium and Allegro (in the Style of Pugnani)</li><li>Rondino on a Theme by Beethoven</li><li>Polichinelle</li><li>Toy Soldiers’ March</li><li>La Gitana</li><li>Berceuse romantique, Op. 9
</li></ul>
Legendary violinist-composer Fritz Kreisler&nbsp;was celebrated for a style combining elegance, warmth, humor, and dazzling virtuosity. His beloved miniatures range from the Viennese charm of Liebesfreud&nbsp;and Liebesleid&nbsp;to brilliant showpieces and affectionate musical tributes written in the styles of composers from earlier eras—a fitting conclusion to In the Style Of.

<h3>Evening Format</h3>
Doors open at 5:00 PM, and guests are warmly invited to enjoy dinner before the performance.
