Don’t miss this Violin and Viola duo with astounding virtuosity and musicality.
This concert of violin and viola pairs two dynamic performers, coming together in duos of lyricism and musicality, and also shining separately in solos of astounding virtuosity and emotion.
Violinist Dina Nesterenko posseses an astounding virtuosity and beauty of tone that captivates all who hear her. She was a semi-finalist in the famed Tchaikovsky Concerto Competition at just 17 years old, and went on to graduate with both bachelors and masters degrees from the Juilliard School. Her unique specialty is creating her own virtuoso arrangements for solo violin of works as diverse as Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, “The Show Must Go On” by Queen, and even a Chaconne in the style of Bach on the theme of the pop song “Barbie Girl” by Aqua, which she has presented at multiple universities. (See her video below)
Mark Landson is known for his dynamic playing style and lyricism, as well as his classical compositions and crossover concepts. He has been called the Elon Musk of the North Texas Classical Music Scene for his many innovative projects, including as the founder of Open Classical. He joins Dina with duos of violin and viola, plus showcases his own collection of Bach’s suites for cello played on viola. (video of his Bach on TEDx below)
