VIOLIN & PIANO DUOS FROM FOUR CENTURIES

BENJAMIN BEILMAN, VIOLIN

“He brought dark chocolate sound and lyricism to his rhapsodic playing and compellingly dispatched the breathless, perpetual-motion finale.”
— The New York Times

ORION WEISS, PIANO

“When you’re named after one of the biggest constellations in the night sky, the pressure is on to display a little star power — and the young pianist Orion Weiss did exactly that…”
— The Washington Post
