An captivating evening of brilliant virtuosity and soulful collaboration for violin and piano — not to be missed. First violinist of the Houston Symphony Orchestra Sergei Galperin made his American solo debut at Avery Fisher Hall at age 16 and has since performed as a soloist and concertmaster with leading orchestras and at major venues worldwide, including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
