This event is part of the Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program’s Music and Storytelling Conference.

The great Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, often credited as the father of modern violin playing, created arrangements of famous violin works for violin, piano, and organ. These unpublished arrangements, located in the Special Collections of The Juilliard School, were recently studied and recorded for the first time by violinist Max Tan. This concert tells the story of these manuscripts and presents these arrangements live in celebration of their 100th anniversary. CDs of these first ever recordings will be on sale after the program.
