CUUC Music: Sun Mar 13

Chilean violin virtuoso Alejandro Mendoza is our musical guest at CUUC on Sunday, March 13. He teams up with Adam Kent in Mozart’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in E Minor, K. 304, a deeply expressive work written in the immediate aftermath of the death of the composer’s mother. Alejandro also offers two intriguing movements from Johannes Brahms’s Violin and Piano Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 108, and the lyrically effusive first movement of César Franck’s popular Violin Sonata. Alejandro and Adam will present a full-length recital on April 17 at 2pm at the White Plains Public Library in memory of Clarice Wilson, who was a long-time CUC member.
