From the lyric grace and youthful vitality of Franz Schubert to the brilliance of Ludwig van Beethoven, the program highlights the expressive depth and technical brilliance that shaped the Romantic sonata tradition.

The refined colors of Claude Debussy and the rhythmic vitality of Maurice Ravel bring the genre into the 20th century, revealing new textures, harmonic language, and modern character—including the unmistakable pulse of Ravel’s “Blues” movement and the dazzling momentum of his Perpetuum Mobile. Together, these masterworks illuminate the richness, contrast, and enduring dialogue between two extraordinary instruments.
