Close our 2025–26 season with husband-and-wife duo Katherine McLin (violin) and Andrew Campbell (piano) in a program that pairs musical dialogue with dance‑driven finales. It opens in Baroque elegance with a Leclair Violin Sonata. Zwilich’s Episodes gives that dialogue an American accent: a song‑like Arioso followed by a compact, dance‑like Vivace. Korngold (of Hollywood film score fame) follows with four scenes from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing moving from an intimate bridal chamber to comic march, garden scene, and a hornpipe masquerade. After intermission, Brahms’s Violin Sonata No. 3 anchors the afternoon with its long dramatic arc. The concert closes with a final set that leans into dance: Henry Flurry’s Machiche, followed by de Falla’s Danse espagnole arranged in the Kreisler tradition, Piazzolla’s tango ‘Nightclub 1960,’ and Ashokan Farewell.
