Host
Come for an evening of violin and piano duets featuring Grieg, Stravinsky, and Antheil.
What's the music?
The newly formed Minsky Duo takes its name from Marvin Minsky, artificial intelligence nerd and musician. Nate Bartley (violin) and Monica Chew (piano) present a wide-ranging program inspired by folktunes to ragtime, with a side of neoclassicism and new music from Aaron Andrew Hunt. The program includes Stravinsky's Suite Italienne, Grieg's second sonata for violin and piano, and George Antheil's second sonata for violin, piano and drums.
Music starts at 8!
Aaron Andrew Hunt, Preludes and Fugues in E Major and E Minor (2013)
George Antheil, Second Sonata for Violin, Piano, and Drums
Igor Stravinsky, Suite Italienne
Edvard Grieg, Second Sonata for Violin and Piano, op. 13

Looking forward to it! Does the performance start right at 7:30 am, or is it Ok if we are 10 or 15 minutes later than that?

Hi Mark, we'll plan on starting the music at 8pm, so arriving anytime before then is OK! Thanks for checking.
