Emilia Wiśniewska - violinist with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and Julia Miller- pianist, accompanist, and educator at the Malta School of Music, a Polish duo based in Malta, will take us on a journey throughout the 19th and 20th centuries of violin and piano music. During the concert, we will hear a virtuoso violin piece by Polish composer- Henri Wieniawski who was one of the best violinists of his time. Then the audience will be treated to 3 Romances by Clara Schumann- German virtuoso pianist and composer in her own right, unfortunately, overshadowed in the music history by her husband Robert Schumann.

Johannes Brahms’ Violin Sonata no. 3, who was a close friend to Schumann family and a great admirer of Klara Schumman’s talent, will follow next. This 4 part composition is very agitated and emotional, both violinist and pianist need to collaborate very closely together to seamlessly pass the musical motives to each other. The concert will finish with 20th-century work by Prokofiev from his more lyrical period. The composition was originally written for voice and piano, and later transcribed by Prokofiev himself for violin and piano.
