Hailed as one of the leading violinists of his generation, Benjamin Beilman has won international praise for his passionate performances and a deep, rich tone which the Washington Post called “mightily impressive.” With pianist Gloria Chien, Beilman presents a program inspired by his storied instrument, an “Ysaÿe” Guarneri del Gesù from 1740. Ysaÿe’s Sonata No. 3 was performed on this violin by the composer himself, and showcases technical prowess and deep musical expression. Composed as a wedding present for Ysaÿe, Franck’s Violin Sonata displays an audacious, show-stopping virtuosity between the violin and piano. Rearranged as a wedding present for Beilman, Contemporary composer Chris Rogerson’s Arietta provided the sweet, intimate sound as Beilman’s Bride walked down the aisle. Come join us for an evening of tales as illustrated by Beilman’s legendary instrument!
