DESCRIPTION:Violinist Sarah Westwick and pianist Stephen Smith present a th
 oughtfully programme that brings together a rarely heard work and a famili
 ar Romantic cornerstone. Central to the recital is a sonata by Dora Pejač
 ević\, the nineteenth-century Croatian composer\, pianist\, and violinist
  whose music is still seldom encountered in concert halls. Richly crafted 
 and emotionally direct\, the sonata reveals a distinctive voice from the l
 ate Romantic era and offers listeners a chance to encounter a composer bey
 ond the standard repertoire.\n\nThe programme also includes Johannes Brahm
 s’s Violin Sonata No 1 in G major\, commonly known as the “Rain Sonat
 a.” Drawing on themes from Brahms’s song Regenlied\, the work is known
  for its lyricism\, warmth\, and inward character. Sarah and Stephen appro
 ach the sonata with clarity and balance\, allowing its long melodic lines 
 and subtle interplay between violin and piano to speak naturally.\nTogethe
 r\, these works create a recital that invites close listening and reflecti
 on. By placing Pejačević alongside Brahms\, the programme offers both fa
 miliarity and discovery\, presented through the collaborative musicianship
  of two performers deeply engaged with the repertoire.\n\nTickets from $20
