Overview
Formed in 2013, the Kowalczyk–Kim Duo is a partnership strong in both music-making and friendship.
The duo’s programme showcases some of the greatest gems of violin and piano repertoire, opening with Beethoven’s Sonata No. 4 for piano and violin and moving to the lyrical beauty of the Strauss Violin Sonata. The second half opens with Partita, a fascinating work by twentieth-century Polish composer Witold Lutosławski. Finally, one of the most complex and genius works written for this combination – Schubert’s Fantasy in C.
