“The SOUND of AMERICA”
Great American works for Violin and Piano

Spirituals, Ragtime, Copland, Bernstein, Still, Beach and more

November 12-15, 2026

We are thrilled to have the wonderful violinist, Tim Schwarz, back with us in Asheville.  Tim and I have performed together for over 30 years after we met as Graduate students at Peabody Conservatory.  We were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, a program run by the State Department that sent us on a whirlwind two-month, eleven-country tour of the Middle East and Southeast Asia to promote American music.  Tim now is Chair of the String Dept at Rowan University in New Jersey.  He always brings incredible energy and passion to his performances.

Here we are playing the 3rd mvt of the William Grant Still Suite:
