A Violinist’s Journey: Masterworks from Bach to Today

Led by Ilana Zaks

Enjoy an inspiring afternoon of solo violin music spanning three centuries with Ilana. The program features the radiant E-major Partita by J.S. Bach; Schulhoff’s bold and modern Solo Sonata; Kreisler’s sparkling Recitative and Scherzo; the fiery virtuosity of Wieniawski’s Caprice; the soulful Suite No. 2 by Ernest Bloch; and Lera Auerbach’s heartfelt T’filah (Prayer). Together, these works illuminate the violin’s expressive power — from Baroque elegance to contemporary reflection — offering an uplifting and memorable musical experience.
