PROGRAMME TO INCLUDE:

MOZART: Sonata in E minor, KV 304

BEETHOVEN: Sonata in F major for Piano & VIolin, op. 24 (“Spring”)

SARASATE: Zigeunerweisen, op. 20

The recital by German-born violinist Annette-Barbara Vogel is sure to be stunning. It is a miracle that an artist of her stature has come to live in Ontario (she now teaches at the University of Western Ontario), but that is our fortune. Annette is a fiery performer with tons of technical prowess. Beethoven’s "Spring" Sonata gives us our seasonal music. But the highlight should be Szymanowski’s rarely heard but truly amazing Violin Sonata.

Net proceeds from this concert are in benefit of the Guelph Youth Music Centre.
