About this Event
This intimate candlelight concert showcases the raw brilliance and emotional depth of the solo violin — a journey into the world of virtuosity, vulnerability, and vision.Inspired by the legacy of Niccolò Paganini, the programme brings together his iconic solo Caprices with contrasting masterpieces by J.S. Bach and Eugène Ysaÿe.
Each composer explores the expressive and technical potential of the instrument, from sacred architecture to daring showmanship.Whether you are a seasoned classical music lover or a curious listener, this concert offers a rare opportunity to hear these masterpieces as they were meant to be — up close, personal, and profoundly human.
