Reviews

In 2007 I decided to fully dedicate a concert to works by composers - friends who I collaborated with. I invited a number of colleagues for this purpose and thus was born:

“Tribute; Works of Friends Performed by Friends”

Over time I opted to include special Tribute concerts to alternate with the programs that were purely constructed of ‘new’ music. Those included

A marathon of Brahms sonatas

An evening dedicated to Schumann’s 200th birthday

2015 Beethoven Tribute

2018 Schubert Tribute

2019 Tribute to composer Andrea Clearfield

2020 Beethoven 250- The Ten Violin Sonatas
