American concert violinist Rachel Barton Pine thrills international audiences with her dazzling technique, lustrous tone, and emotional honesty. She is heralded as a leading interpreter of the great classical masterworks as well as folk and rock-influenced new music.She has curated a solo program to be presented in the Garden of Contemplation at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in celebration of the violin’s American folk music roots, traversing the European dance music of early immigrants to the development of a unique style thanks to the influence of African-American music-making. She will lead us on a journey from the dance forms of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 3 through the influence of 19th century American composers like Samuel Coleridge-Taylor to contemporary fiddlers like Mark O’Connor and important jazz and hip-hop-influenced works by Noel da Costa, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, and Daniel Bernard Roumain, finishing with a historical sonic postcard by French composer Henri Vieuxtemps in his jaunty Souvenir d’Amérique (Memory of America).
This recital is made possible with the collaboration of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra who present Rachel Barton Pine the previous evening as a concerto soloist with the orchestra.
