    (program subject to change)

    An eclectic violin duo program that invites us to see beyond the veil of the ordinary. A gateway to the strange and uncharted—Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre", where death invites the living to a midnight dance, the iconic theme from the 90s sci-fi series The X-Files, and selections from Bartok’s 44 Duos for 2 Violins, known for unexpected tonalities and asymmetrical rhythms.

    Shaina Pan is a violinist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer who enjoys performing, recording, and touring in a variety of genres. An advocate for music by living composers, Shaina has premiered dozens of new works, collaborating with artists such as Meredith Monk, Augusta Read Thomas, Kate Soper, Ken Ueno, Terry Riley, and the Kronos Quartet. Shaina earned her Master of Music degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Indiana University.

    Corina Santos is a violinist and a faculty member of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Pre-College, and maintains a studio of private students in the Bay Area. She has worked with acclaimed musicians including Danielle Belen, Sally O’Reilly, Kikuei Ikeda, the Juilliard String Quartet, and the Miró Quartet. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and a master’s degree from DePaul University in Chicago, IL.

    What's the music?

    An eclectic violin duo program that invites us to see beyond the veil of the ordinary. A gateway to the strange and uncharted—featuring Saint-Saen’s Danse Macabre, where death invites the living to a midnight dance, the iconic theme from the 90s sci-fi series The X-Files, and selections from Bartok’s 44 Duos for 2 Violins, known for its unexpected tonalities and asymmetrical rhythms.

    LYNX is a violin duo that takes its name from both the distant constellation and the enigmatic animal known for its sharp vision and ability to see in the dark. Both in mythology and in nature, the lynx is a symbol of deep intuition and hidden knowledge, traits that guide us as we explore unexpected linkages between works across a wide variety of genres, time periods, and universes.
