Irène Duval violin; Connie Shih piano

Born in France, to a French father and Korean mother, the foundations of Irène Duval’s perceptive artistry were set during her studies at the Conservatoire de Paris and Kronberg Academy. In high demand as a chamber music partner, she’s joined this morning by Canadian pianist Connie Shih for a recital that encompasses the dynamic energy of Beethoven’s Fourth Violin Sonata and Robert Schumann’s dramatic Violin Sonata in D minor.
