The four-time GRAMMY Award winner will perform Vivaldi’s beloved Four Seasons. Completing the program with a concerto by Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, and Unsuk Chin’s Gran Cadenza, a virtuoso duo for violins.

Anne Sophie Mutter’s career has been celebrated for decades. An award winning violinist at just six years old in her home of Germany-  by 13 she was working with famed maestro Herbert Von Karayan. Soon enough, she was in-performance with the Berlin Philharmonic, The English Chamber Orchestra and Daniel Barenboim.

By 1980, she had made it stateside with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic. A debut at Carnegie Hall in 1988, and a brilliant recording career that has included Mozart, Vivaldi and Beethoven, but also a nod to contemporary works.

More recently, her award winning various projects with cinema master John Williams have garnered massive streaming and sales. Her album Brahms Double Concerto/Clara Schumann Piano Trio, and Violin Concerto #2 with John Williams; both stars on The New Classical FM’s Classical Chartz over the last year.
