Strauss, Tomkins and Zivian Trio

Extremely versatile, with experience in the Baroque, classical, and modern playing styles, Zivian and Tomkins are dedicated to the text of the music they perform.

They are joined by dynamic performer Axel Strauss. In 1998, the violinist became the first German artist ever to win the Naumburg Violin Award, and in the seasons since, he has been equally acclaimed for his virtuosity and his musical sensitivity. "Amid his technical acumen, there was a genuine musician. His interpretive prowess was delightful." Mr. Strauss, who has been residing in the United States since 1996, maintains a busy performance schedule and serves as Professor of Violin at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Performances in the past by Tomkins and Zivian have been described as transmitting deep emotion and drama dancing between playing sublime and hearty. With the addition of German-born, award winning violin player Axel Strauss, this will be a night of artistry, emotion and top tier performance of classical music by Haydn, Smetana, and Ravel.
