Full program notes

Bach's Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor is often regarded as one of the most emotionally powerful and beautiful pieces in the solo violin repertoire. Written in the aftermath of his first wife Maria Barbara's death, the Chaconne is a set of variations over a repeating bass line that creates a sense of relentless progression and transformation, mirroring the journey through sorrow and acceptance. "Echoes of the Chaconne" is a solo violin concert that delves into the profound emotional legacy of the chaconne, showcasing its influence across various musical styles and eras.
