Carnegie Hall

Violinist Maxim Vengerov is one of the world’s most sought-after musicians of the past 40-plus years. Tonight, he adds three more pieces to the stunning list of works he’s performed on our stages, and he returns to an all-time favorite. The program begins with a powerful duo arrangement of Shostakovich’s From Jewish Folk Poetry, followed by the composer’s volatile Violin Sonata—a complex and forceful work that offers incredible interpretive possibilities. The concert also features Schubert’s Violin Sonata in G Minor (a refreshingly digestible “sonatina,” as it was posthumously labeled) and Brahms’s impassioned Violin Sonata No. 3.
