Chudacoff / Wang Violin-Piano Duo: Sonatascape

Come hear Ann Arbor native and violinist Claudia Chudacoff, joined by pianist Sylvia Wang, in a program spanning four centuries, with works by Bach, Respighi, Patino, and Beethoven. Highlights include Bach’s stunning first sonata for violin and keyboard in B minor, Respighi’s epic, demanding, and rarely-heard sole sonata for violin and piano, a brand-new piece by University of Michigan Opera Stage Director Chia Patino, and Beethoven’s sublime final sonata, Op. 96.
