Alina Ibragimova Violin
March 10, 2015 - March 14, 2015
Board of Officers Room
With a recent five-star performance at Wigmore Hall of Bach’s solo sonatas and partitas, violinist Alina Ibragimova was hailed as “one of today’s outstanding interpreters of the most elemental music in the repertoire” (The Guardian, UK). Still representing the pinnacle of violin mastery for more than two centuries after Bach’s death, these cherished works are again revisited by this expressive violinist in the beloved Board of Officers Room.
