Join us for an unforgettable evening of music at Caramoor in Katonah, NY, on Saturday, July 13, 2024, featuring the exceptional talents of American violinist Kevin Zhu and pianist Maxim Lando. The recital is set to take place in the intimate setting of the Music Room at 5:00pm, offering a unique opportunity to experience the virtuosity of these young artists up close.

Kevin Zhu, a violin prodigy who began his musical journey at the tender age of three, has since garnered international acclaim, winning prestigious competitions such as the Paganini Competition and receiving the Avery Fisher Career Grant. Known for his "awesome technical command and maturity" (The Strad) and "absolute virtuosity" (L’ape musicale), Zhu continues to dazzle audiences worldwide with his performances.

Joining him is the equally talented Maxim Lando, a pianist celebrated for his "remarkable virtuosity and musical sensitivity." Lando has made headlines performing alongside renowned artists and has won numerous awards, including the Gilmore Young Artist Award and First Prize in both the New York Franz Liszt International Competition and The Vendome Prize.

The program for the evening includes a selection of works that showcase the depth and breadth of their musical artistry, featuring compositions by Maurice Ravel, Eugène Ysaÿe, Lili Boulanger, and Franz Waxman.
