Experience an afternoon of passion, romance, and enchantment as one of North America’s hottest young duos makes its festival debut. The Ezra Duo, with violist Jacob Clewel and pianist Sasha Bult-ito, hailed as an “iconic team,” present a program inspired by timeless love stories. From the tender lyricism of Leslie Adams’ The Ecstasy of Love to the sweeping drama of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet and the tango-infused brilliance of Piazzolla’s Primavera Porteña, each piece brims with emotion. Don’t miss this unforgettable journey through music’s most captivating expressions of love.

The duo are first prize winners of numerous international competitions, earning invitations to perform in New York, Vienna, and Sarajevo. They are laureates of the 2018 Città di Pinerolo e Torino – Città Metropolitana International Chamber Music Competition held in Turin, Italy, and were winners of the 2019 Arcady Emerging Artist Competition.
