Revelry Unique Downtown Events and Carolina Music Planner are proud to present Brazilian violinist Moises Bonella Cunha. He brings a formidable recital program navigating the evolution of repertoire for solo violin.
The artistic and athletic features in Telemann’s Fantasias and J.S. Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin paved the way for the development of the virtuosic and extended techniques featured in the solo works of Ysaÿe and Brazilian composer Flausino Vale.
Moises Bonella Cunha brings these pieces to life. His clean, articulate tone and unparalleled passion will captivate the audience as each guest is transported through a history of brilliant composition.
