Persephone Gibbs (violin) & Ian Pace (piano)

This concert brings together for the first time a unique partnership between violinist Persephone Gibbs, a well-known figure through the field of early music and historically-informed performance, and new music specialist, City University Lecturer and researcher into nineteenth-century performance Ian Pace. Their concert features two classic sonatas for violin and piano, in between which there is a rare chance to hear one Robert Schumann's transcription of Bach's solo violin and cello works with added piano accompaniment.

Johannes Brahms - Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano in A major, op. 100 (1886)

Johann Sebastian Bach - Violin Sonata No. 2 in A minor, with piano accompaniment by Robert Schumann (1852-53)
