About this event
About the Show IN BRIEF The Evolution Series returns this season, focusing on one of music’s most celebrated instruments: the violin. Remarkably, the violin has retained its fundamental form since its earliest development. Instead, composers and performers have continually expanded its possibilities, driving innovation through new techniques and fresh modes of expression. Guided by violinist and lecturer Aaron Boyd, the evening traces four centuries of development, revealing how early breakthroughs continue to shape and challenge its musical language today.
