Capital City Concerts presents "Veritable Violin," the final concert of the 18-19 season, featuring violinist Laurie Smukler and pianist Robert McDonald on Saturday, April 13, 7:30PM at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier.

Laurie Smukler and pianist Robert McDonald are two of the most sought-after chamber musicians in the United States and are distinguished faculty members of the Juilliard School. They will perform masterpieces for violin and piano including Beethoven's Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 4, in A minor, Op. 23, Franck's Sonata for Violin and Piano in A major, in addition to Mario Davidovsky's spell-binding Synchronisms No. 9 for Violin and Tape, and Hindemith's Sonata for Violin and Piano, Op.11, No. 1.

Laurie Smukler, who has performed numerous times at Capital City Concerts over the past two decades, said this about Montpelier's popular chamber music series, "Playing at Capital City Concerts is a special performing pleasure. The audience is made up of very knowledgeable, open, and enthusiastic music lovers. The atmosphere in the hall during performances is one of intense listening and inclusion...both performers and audience are, in the very best sense, sharing the magic of music."
