The Four B's

The 2024 Bachauer Silver Medalist returns to Utah in a concert full of driving virtuosity and lyricism, with music by the four B’s: Brahms, Bartók, Beethoven, and Bacewicz! The program includes Brahms’ intensely romantic op. 76 and Beethoven’s Sonata "Quasi una fantasia", op. 27, no. 1.
