One of the world’s hottest young composers, Gabriela Lena Frank travels

Piano and Cello, and explore the history and the future of Latin American

this masterpiece, with noted Elgar interpreter James Judd.
3 I 21st Century Violin with Gilles Apap I February 14
Richard Strauss wrote the epic, bombastic tone-poem Ein Heldenleben
(“A Hero’s Life”) about ... himself. It includes a battle with music critics,
“works of peace” (all of his other tone-poems), and an unforgettable girlfriend
played by the solo violin. Was Strauss really a hero? That’s debatable. Join
us as we examine one of the greatest musical egos in history.

“The violinist of the 21st century,” according to Yehudi Menuhin, Gilles Apap

training with deep knowledge of folk traditions and a boundless imagination
and sense of humor, Gilles will blow your mind. Join Gilles, Edwin Outwater,
and the KWS for his famous rendition of Mozart’s 3rd Violin Concerto.
