Rachel Barton Pine, violin
American Traditions/Souvenir d’Amérique
Heralded as a leading interpreter of the great classical masterworks as well as folk- and rock-influenced new music, American concert violinist Rachel Barton Pine thrills international audiences with her dazzling technique, lustrous tone, and emotional honesty. She has curated a solo program in celebration of the violin’s American folk music roots, traversing the European dance music of early immigrants to the development of a unique style thanks to the influence of African-American music-making. We will journey from the dance forms of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 3 through Henri Vieuxtemps’ jaunty Souvenir d’Amérique and music by contemporary fiddler-composers like Mark O’Connor, to important jazz- and hip-hop-influenced works by Noel da Costa, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, and Daniel Bernard Roumain. This concert is presented in partnership with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
