Geneva Lewis

New Zealand–born, US–raised, Geneva Lewis has steadily built a reputation as one of the most thoughtful and compelling violinists of her generation. A recipient of both the Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award, she continues to emerge on the international stage with a presence that is unmistakably her own.
She is praised for her lustrous tone and a kind of quiet, internal intensity — what critics have described as “poised, searching, and beautifully refined musicianship.” There is precision in her playing, but never rigidity; freedom, but never indulgence.
For this evening, Geneva brings a program that moves across time and emotional language:
— Johann Sebastian Bach — Sonata No. 3 for Violin and Piano
— Esa-Pekka Salonen — Lachen Verlernt (solo violin)
— Franz Waxman — Carmen Fantasy
— Johannes Brahms — Piano Quartet in G minor
She will be joined by Alin Melik-Adomyan (piano), Robert Brophy (viola) and Evgeny Tonkha (cello).
