“Between Worlds” — Melody Chan and Alvin Tran

Music Mondays is proud to welcome award-winning American-Canadian pianist, Melody Chan together with Vancouver-based, Canadian violinist Alvin Tran.

Their luscious program of mixed works is inspired by the whole concept of exoticism – carefully selected works by composers from various time periods, who have drawn inspiration from cultures and musical styles outside of their own backgrounds, and incorporated these elements into their own musical language. From more traditional figures – Bartok’s Romanian Folk Dances, Ravel’s Violin Sonata No. 2, to Kapustin’s Violin Sonata. Finally, the brooding and sweepingly dramatic Violin Sonata No. 2 by Toronto based composer, Kevin Lau.

This will surely be a delightfully sumptuous auditory experience for all.
