Free Classical Concert ~ Auerbach & Pierce @ Merkin Hall

Hailed by the New York Times as a “player with quiet virtuosity”, violinist Dan Auerbach joins award-winning pianist and prolific recording artist Joshua Pierce for an exciting program of traditional, virtuoso, and avant-garde classical music. Works include Tartini’s “Devil’s Trill” sonata (a work inspired by the devil), Bloch’s Baal Shem Suite (the composer’s vision of Chassidic life), Hába’s Hudba for Solo Violin (all quarter-tone music), the majestic G Major violin sonata by Brahms, Mozart’s lamenting E minor violin sonata, and a few Paganini caprices. This concert will mark 25 years of the duo’s fruitful collaboration. - See more at: http://www.kaufmanmusiccenter.org/mch/event/an-evening-of-music-pierce-auerbach-duo/#sthash.awjU9CiA.dpuf
