This powerful duo of young, genre-defying musicians presents a remarkably eclectic concert: Italian Baroque juxtaposed with 19th-century masterpieces of Paganini; Amy Beach’s lush melodies are paired with the seductive gestures of traditional Spanish song; and the paradigm-bending program closes with Astor Piazzolla’s spirited celebration of tango.
