The first duo performance of Yael Weiss and violinist Mark Kaplan took place in summer 1999, when they joined forces in Bartok's first sonata for violin and piano at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. The complex score came together with such natural ease—and with such excitement—that Weiss and Kaplan immediately began an active exploration of the violin-piano repertoire. Other engagements soon followed, including the City of London Festival, New York’s Bargemusic and the Banff Festival. In 2002 they were married, becoming partners in life as well as music, with their work as a duo taking a central part in their life together. Enjoy an evening of violin and piano masterpieces.
