Richard O’Neill and Jeremy Denk 

Richard O'Neill and Jeremy Denk brought a program of landmark works for the viola, two composed by master violists better known today as composers: Rebecca Clarke and Paul Hindemith. Experience a searing performance of Clarke's and Hindemith's eloquent 1919 sonatas, now classics in the repertoire. A third star appearing in this concert is the Library's 1690 magnificent Tuscan-Medici viola, on loan from the Tuscan Corporation, one of only a handful of Stradivari violas in existence. This video contains excerpts from the performance, available for a limited time.
