Refuge

Young violinist LIV Migdal ventures a journey to the limits of the speakable, playable, and tangible: the winner of numerous international prizes (including at the Ruggiero Ricci Competition Salzburg and Hindemith Competition Berlin) performs music by Bach, Bartók, and refugee from Germany Paul Ben-Haim. What could be more fragile than LIV Migdal's lonely violin playing Bach, and what more existentially violent than the same instrument with Bartók? A true discovery is the work of Israel's national composer Ben-Haim: a firestorm of energy, a melancholy meditation on lost happiness. A fabulous violinist presents a bold program!
