You are playing not one but two concerts for solo violin within the space of a few hours at this year’s Lake District Summer Music on 2 August. How did you choose the programmes?
I have been researching music for solo violin and I didn’t, which she wrote during the isolation of Covid lockdown – what saves you as a performer when there is no audience, when you are alone in your room with no one to play for and the last thing wou want to do is practise? There is also a bit of the idea of story-telling in Prokofiev’s Solo Sonata in the same programme, which has a lot of Kurtág interwoven through it.
