About This Performance

Named “a talent to watch” by the New York Times, Alexi Kenney possesses an “architect’s eye for structure and space and a tone that ranges from the achingly fragile to full-bodied robustness.” In his PCMS return, this extraordinary violinist teams up with Merz Trio pianist and 2018 Musical Fund Society Award winner Amy Yang for a period-style approach to a program of late works by Robert and Clara Schumann. “Robert Schumann is one of my favorite composers, and I feel that the emotional urgency of his music makes so much sense on period instruments” (Alexi Kenney).
