An afternoon filled with elegance, energy, and charm!

Dvořák, Brahms, Sarasate, Tchaikovsky, and Massenet add to the party with folk-inspired dances and dreamy atmospheric works.

Violinist, Alexandra Conunova has been hailed for her virtuosity, warm tone, impressive range of colour, and flawless technique.

“…her playing is this fabulous: the warm-toned, easy fluidity of her virtuosities; her range of articulation, colour and shading; the subtle spontaneity; the natural shaping.” — Gramophone
