“Wednesday is Bravo’s afternoon Casual Classics at the Vail Chapel, a lovely space for chamber music. Mozart’s renowned duo for violin and viola, with violinist Rachel Barton Pine, making her Bravo debut, joins festival favorite violist Nokuthula Ngwenyama. There is a charming story behind the composition of this piece; come to the concert and read about it in the festival program. All are familiar with Mendelssohn’s magnificent, and only, Octet, but we at Bravo are excited to introduce a new octet by Joachim Raff (who also only wrote one), who worshipped Mendelssohn; though Mendelssohn’s influence is obvious, Raff has his own style.” Full Post Nokuthula Ngwenyama is an acclaimed African American violist and violinist who is profiled at AfriClassical.com She is also a Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Notre Dame. She records on the EDI Records label and her website is: http://www.ngwenyama.com/new/home.html
