The Saint Michael Concert Series is thrilled to present “Ode to Springtime” – Violinist Byron Hitchcock and pianist Michael Finlay reunite for two special performances on their Midwest Spring Recital Tour – They will present a concert at St. Michael on Friday, May 23 at 7 PM in the church.
Friends and collaborators for over 20 years since their student days at the Cleveland Institute of Music, the duo brings expressive warmth and seasoned chemistry to a program that welcomes the season with lyricism, depth, and brilliance. Beethoven’s Spring Sonata opens with graceful charm and melodic freshness, followed by Brahms’ richly expressive Sonata in G Major, inspired by his melancholic “Rain Song.” The program ends with Schubert’s Fantasie in C Major – a dazzling tour de force renowned (and feared) for its extreme technical challenges in both violin and piano.
