Programme
Overview
Leila Josefowicz brings John Adams’s swinging Road Movies to life in three pulsating movements, infused with irresistible groove. The programme sparkles further with vibrant scores by Stravinsky and Janáček, capped by Colin Matthews’s newly premiered Paraphrases for violin and piano.Join virtuoso violinist Leila Josefowicz for an evening of unbridled energy and musical wit. A longtime champion and friend of John Adams, Josefowicz unveils the three pulsating movements of Road Movies—a work whose whimsical title belies its rhythmic intensity and whose piano part must be played in ‘swing’ mode to capture its infectious groove. The programme continues with Stravinsky’s effervescent melodies and Janáček’s vibrant sonorities, each score crackling with modernist daring. Rounding out the concert is Colin Matthews’s Paraphrases for violin and piano, composed for Josefowicz and premiered at the 2025 Aldeburgh Festival, a sparkling dialogue that highlights her luminous tone and the dynamic rapport between soloist and accompanist. Experience the full spectrum of 20th- and 21st-century vitality in this thrilling programme.
