Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time; his flawless technique, combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit, has solidified his renown as an American master. In 2016, Shaham performed an evening of solo violin works by J.S. Bach, filling Hill Auditorium with his magical and luminescent sound. For this return appearance a decade later, he brings an all-Beethoven program, part of his year-long exploration of all 10 of Beethoven’s sonatas for piano and violin with his longtime recital partner Akira Eguchi.

Grammy® Award-winning Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time. His flawless technique combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit has solidified his renown as an American master. Shaham was one of the earliest performers to grace the Spivey Hall stage during our first full season (1991-92), so it’s only fitting that he returns to open our 35th season with long-time collaborator Japanese-born pianist and composer Akira Eguchi. This not-to-be-missed program will feature a selection of Beethoven violin sonatas.
