Shared Madness Part 2
(2018/2019 Performing Arts)
“Each piece [is] a virtuoso caprice that was about the violin and the violinist… Shared Madness is a sharing of Koh’s vastness.” Los Angeles Times
Beloved violinist Jennifer Koh returns to perform part
two of her acclaimed program Shared Madness featuring
specially-commissioned pieces by contemporary-music luminaries. The ambitious project tells the story of a
community of artists who wrote short works for Koh as
repayment to the benefactors who helped her purchase a
violin in exchange for new music.
