Through the centuries, the violin rose from its humble beginnings as the instrument of the village fool and clowns to dominate the musical world as the most popular and stylistically most flexible musical instrument. This program features an exhibition of antique and modern violins, violas, and bows followed by a performance in which each instrument will get its turn to shine. Busy violinist, Henrik Karapetyan, and seasoned instrument dealer, Ara Simonyan, combine forces with pianist Xavier Suarez and fellow violinist Caroline Chin to present an event where the violin itself becomes the “artist.”
Exhibition: 12:30 PM, Concert: 2:00 PM
