Yuka Eguchi & Kemp English – Violin & Piano

Classical music lovers in Motueka are in for a rare treat as two of New Zealand’s top instrumental performers team up to form a new violin and piano duo. Virtuoso violinist Yuka Eguchi will be joined by pianist Kemp English in a programme of highlights from the violin and piano duo repertoire designed to thrill, chill and charm.

Beethoven’s timeless Spring Sonata will rub shoulders with classic violin encore favourites such as Kreisler’s La Gitana and Leibeslied, Kroll’s rollicking Banjo and Fiddle, Monti’s firecracker Csárdás and Massenet’s magical Méditation from Thaïs.
