Bach Suite No. 3 in C Major
Reger Suite No. 1 in G minor
Brahms Sonata in F minor
For centuries, the rich and beautiful sounds of the viola remained tucked away in ensembles, forgotten between the brilliant tones of the violin and deep sonority of the cello. Only in more recent years has the viola grown to be recognized as a soloistic instrument. Over this time, the world has come to see the viola’s rich tones as deeply beautiful and powerful, with many lauding the instrument for its versatility and its semblance to the human voice. Join violist Deanna Badizadegan to explore this once hidden “inner voice” in an afternoon of works for the viola, accompanied by her teacher and celebrated pianist Paul Hersh.
