Janine Jansen, one of the most outstanding violinists on the international scene, headlines ‎this Chamber Music season concert with the pianist Gavrylyuk. Together they will perform an ‎intense and profoundly emotional repertoire.‎Janine Jansen is one of the most outstanding violinists on the international scene. Her ‎concert activity is broad-ranging and varied, as a soloist with today’s best orchestras and ‎conductors—the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the London ‎Symphony Orchestra, Zubin Mehta, Daniele Gatti and Michael Tilson Thomas—as well as in ‎chamber music ensembles with illustrious musicians such as Miša Maiskis and Martha ‎Argerich and in recitals with the pianists Elisabeth Leonskaja and Alexander Gavrylyuk. It is in ‎this latter dimension and alongside the pianist Gavrylyuk that she will visit us during Chamber ‎Season. Together they will perform an intense and profoundly emotional repertoire: ‎‎Violin Sonata No. 1, Op. 105 by Robert Schumann, which dramatically evokes the ‎mental fragility of the composer during his final years of life; theViolin Sonata, ‎Op. 94a by Sergei Prokofiev, originally written for flute and piano for fun during breaks in the ‎filming of Ivan the Terrible; and the Sonata for Violin and Piano by ‎César Franck, a core component in the repertoire for violin and one of the best examples of ‎the cyclic form of composition, where the same theme reappears at different moments ‎during the piece.‎
