“Through the years, every now and then, a classical musician will discover an exceptional piece. When played, it creates a special connection between its musical sound and one’s heart. As these compositions are encountered we must embrace them and frequently perform them... for the sake of our listeners and, just as important, for the sake of our own artistic well-being. My hope is that this eclectic program of premieres and rare gems will exude passion, create intrigue and fascinate both audiences and performers.” Jan Vinci
