We were delighted to welcome back the fabulous violinist Tessa Lark, who has enchanted our audiences with her incredible virtuosity and charm. And we were equally excited about presenting the versatile and brilliant pianist, composer, and host of NPR’s acclaimed program “From the Top,” Christopher O’Riley. Tessa and Christopher joined Edward Arron in a diverse program spanning four centuries – from Bach to Dvořák and Ravel, to O’Riley!
