Ariana Kim Album Release Preview

Exploring improvisation through the lens of 18th-century violin sonatas and world folk music, join us for GRAMMY Nominated Artist Ariana Kim’s latest album release: "(un)common thread".

DETAILS:
Join us for a preview of our Artistic Director and violinist Ariana Kim's forthcoming album, (un)common thread exploring improvisation from Mozart to Macedonia, with colleagues Roger Moseley, fortepiano and Shane Shanahan, percussion.

The program takes us on a journey exploring the world of improvisation from two seemingly distant perspectives: violin sonatas by Mozart and Beethoven with historical keyboards, interspersed with world folk music - from Bulgaria to Macdeonia and the US - with percussion.

Through examining the language of improvisation and embellishments from some of the earliest and greatest improvisers in the Classical realm, we see a symbiosis in how form, structure, and harmony share (un)common threads with improvisation in world folk music and 21st-century compositions by Shane Shanahan.
