Two of today’s most exciting artists are a dream team in their acclaimed recitals together. Cellist Alisa Weilerstein’s impassioned performance style, breathtaking technique, and commitment to new music helped earn her a MacArthur “genius” award at age 29. She has met her musical match in Inon Barnatan, a poet of the keyboard whose sincerity and expressiveness rival his astonishing technical abilities. When these two artists come together, says the Denver Post, “they bring urgency, intensity, and edginess…there is no playing it safe.”
