Pre-concert lecture at 2pm by KUSC's Brian Lauritzen
Husband and wife duo—world-renowned soprano Larisa Martínez and Grammy® Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell present their latest innovative project, Voice & the Violin. Performing alongside longtime collaborator and pianist, Peter Dugan, the performance showcases a captivating repertoire of beloved art song, opera and modern classics, to musical theater.
In a statement, Martínez and Bell said, “Our concept for the ‘Voice and the Violin’ program began during the pandemic, while we were quarantined and finding new ways to collaborate and enjoy music together. Although finding repertoire written specifically for violin and voice can be a challenge, we discovered and fell in love with these gems featured in [this] performance."
