Pinchas Zukerman’s warm, liquid sound is instantly recognizable—and richly intoxicating. With his elegant phrasing, musical intelligence, and strong romantic sensibility, Zukerman has been called “an aristocrat of the violin.” Yefim Bronfman is a superb, thoughtful pianist whose technique is not about bravura but about seemingly infinite and organic variation—in short, about making consistently brilliant music. Pinchas Zukerman and Yefim Bronfman will perform works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms.

“Zukerman again seemed the forever-young virtuoso: expressively resourceful, infectiously musical, technically impeccable, effortless. As usual, it was a joy to be in hismusical company.” —The Los Angeles Times

“Bronfman’s huge sonority and his equally huge technique gave the music a titanic sweep.” —The Seattle Times
