ABOUT THE CONCERT

Virtuosity meets intimacy in this concert featuring world-renowned violinist Sergej Krylov playing a 1710 Stradivari ‘Camposelice’ and pianist Konstantin Shamray. Greatly influenced by cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, with whom he regularly shared a stage as a young violinist, Krylov’s nuanced artistry has seen him perform internationally as well as hold the role of Music Director of the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra.

An exquisite French repertoire traverses romantic lyricism and fire, highlighting the chemistry between Krylov’s precision and Shamray’s expressive power. Presented in an intimate in-the-round concert setting, this electrifying recital showcases two master musicians at the height of their powers, blending technical brilliance with emotional depth — a musical dialogue of brilliant, emotional power.
