Just thought I'd share this. It's a faculty mini-recital at Smith College earlier this month, where my viola teacher performed as a guest artist.

The program is:

Lili Boulanger (1893-1918), Two Pieces for Violin and Piano
Adolphus Hailstork (b. 1941), Divertimento for Violin and Viola
Courtney Bryan (b. 1982), And What I Mean is This for violin and viola
Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979), Dumka for violin, viola, and piano

There's a more detailed program linked in the video description on YouTube, which includes the text that inspired the Courtney Bryan piece.

The first piece was lovely.

There's something about the harmony between a piano and a violin which occasionally results in something more than either can be by themselves.  The first piece was one of those.

 

The rest of the program was worth listening to in its own right, but that first piece really stood out for me.
