Violinist Joshua Peckins returns to the live concert stage, presenting an immersive solo violin recital experience, pairing beloved music by J. S. Bach with fresh works by living and upcoming geniuses from around the world. This performance will also include rich, spoken commentary about the composers and their music.
Experience Jessie Montgomery’s compelling Rhapsody No 1 live, a piece Peckins performed extensively during the pandemic (virtually). Polina Nazaykinskaya - a classmate of Peckins from their graduate studies at Yale School of Music - wrote her Caprices in 2020. Instantly engaging, tremendously virtuosic, and dazzlingly expressive, these pieces join Montgomery’s as new works sure to become part of the violin’s virtuoso canon. Bach’s Partita No 3 is the final solo violin work from his famous collection - glorious in its purity, depth of refined feeling, and true beauty.
“Awakening” belongs to the 2021-22 project “Music Speaks.” The performance will include commentary about the composers and music.
