Dynamic violinist Njioma Chinyere Grevious visits in her Cal Performances debut with a program that showcases her superb technique and remarkable versatility. A 2024 winner of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, the up-and-coming artist is a featured performer in the Sphinx Soloist Program, which showcases top Black and Latinx string players who are laureates of the prestigious Sphinx Competition. The solo work Blue/s Forms is a rarely performed gem by Black American composer Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, who was active in New York’s classical and jazz music worlds from the 1950s through the ’90s. Beethoven’s brilliant Kreutzer sonata and Mozart’s elegiac E minor sonata round out the program.
Run time for this performance is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes including intermission
| PERKINSON | Blue/s Forms for Solo Violin |
| MOZART | Violin Sonata No. 21 in E minor, K. 304 |
| BEETHOVEN | Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, Op. 47, Kreutzer |
