Rebecca Fischer, violinist with the Chiara Quartet, and pianist Ann Chang join forces on Tuesday, February 9 to perform a recital of duo sonatas entitled “Close to the Heart” in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Glenn Korff School of Music’s Westbrook Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m.
The program features two of the most beautiful sonatas in the violin/piano repertoire: Franz Schubert’s Sonata in A Major and Johannes Brahms’ Sonata in G Major. Of the collaboration, Rebecca Fischer says, “We started playing together through informal sight-reading sessions. Over time we decided to turn this into a public recital, to invite others into our enjoyment of this great music.”
A passionate educator, Rebecca Fischer is a research associate professor and Hixson-Lied Artist-in-Residence at UNL and a violinist in the Chiara Quartet. Dr. Ann Chang (piano) is an active soloist and lecturer in the U.S. and Europe, and associate professor of practice in the School of Music.
The performance in Westbrook is free and open to the public.
