"In a world full of outstanding violinists, [Gil] Shaham is one of the few identifiable by sound and style alone.” (The Boston Globe)

Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time; his flawless technique, combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit, has solidified his renown as an American master. In 2016, Shaham performed an evening of solo violin works by J.S. Bach, filling Hill Auditorium with his magical and luminescent sound. For this return appearance a decade later, he brings an all-Beethoven program, part of his year-long exploration of all 10 of Beethoven’s sonatas for piano and violin with his longtime recital partner Akira Eguchi.

“Shaham’s tone is clear and sweet, and he plays with quiet but unmistakable ardor. There is a seamless flow to his performance, a sense of propulsion fueled by both thoughtful concentration and a willingness to let the music take flight.” (The Chicago Sun-Times)
