Calderwood Hall
After her triumphant concert last season, Rachel Barton Pine returns to Calderwood Hall with a recital of Brahms sonatas for the violin—including Brahms’s own violin version of a sonata better known on clarinet, which Pine has been championing. She performs on the astonishing Guarneri “del Gesù” violin that Brahms himself selected for his chamber music partner, Marie Soldat-Roeger.
