Tolstoy Inspired… Music by Prokofiev, Janáček, & Beethoven
Book your tickets now for a fun winter evening of inspirational violin & piano duos presented by Ashuelot Concerts!
This intriguing program explores how music and literature occasionally combine to inspire even more powerful works of art. Connecting the three pieces in this concert through the lens of Leo Tolstoy – particularly his novella The Kreutzer Sonata – reveals a powerful intersection of music, psychology, and morality. All three works are centered in the emotional and thematic space carved out by Tolstoy’s philosophical engagement with music.
Music Program:
Prokofiev - Cinq Melodies, Op. 35
Janáček - Violin Sonata
Beethoven - Sonata for Piano & Violin in A, Op. 47, “Kreutzer”
Louisa Stonehill – Violin & Nicholas Burns – Piano
