Lisa Batiashvili joins forces with Giorgi Gigashvili in a journey through raw emotion and staggering virtuosity—Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 3 brims with charm and fire, setting the stage for Bartók’s electrifying Violin Sonata No. 1, where wild folk rhythms and searing intensity push both musicians to the edge.

A new work by Josef Bardanashvili, a fellow Georgian whose music pulses with mystery and soul, makes its Princeton debut before the night closes in the rapture of Franck’s Violin Sonata—a piece so intoxicatingly beautiful it’s been called “a love letter in music.”

This concert is a high-voltage meeting of artistic minds, generations, and traditions—a program of music that grabs you and doesn’t let go, performed by two of the most magnetic artists of our time.
