IN PERFORMANCE WITH NOKUTHULA NGWENYAMA, violin

"Chamber music exhilaration." 
- Cleveland Plain Dealer

Recently featured as a “Face to Watch” in the Los Angeles Times, Nokuthula Ngwenyama’s performances as orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician have garnered great attention. Gramophone proclaimed Ms. Ngwenyama’s playing as providing “solidly shaped music of bold, mesmerising character."  Ms. Ngwenyama came to international attention when she won the Primrose International Viola Competition and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions at age 17. In 1998, she received the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. Ms. Ngwenyama has performed throughout the United States and across four continents. Following stellar performances in spring 2012, this vibrant team takes the stage once again.

Programs include:

  • BEETHOVEN - Piano Trio Op. 11 OR PREVIN - Trio No. 2
    (premiered in 2012, commissioned for KLR by Music Accord)
  • MENDELSSOHN - Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor
  • DVORAK - Piano Quartet in Eb
