Carolin Widmann
von Bingen, Geminiani, Sciarrino
Musical Performance Solo 0In May 2022, Carolin Widmann performed the world premiere of Violin for Carolin, written for her by Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen. She now brings the piece to the Pierre Boulez Saal as part of an extraordinary solo recital spanning almost a millennium of music history, beginning with medieval composer and polymath Hildegard von Bingen. In a fascinating juxtaposition of styles and eras, the program also includes a sonata by late-Baroque violin virtuoso Francesco Geminiani, George Enescu’s rarely heard Fantaisie concertante, and Salvatore Sciarrino’s Sei Capricci, composed in 1976.
The audio recording of the concert is available now for members only for 14 days. Learn more about our new online membership.
