With a unique combination of fire and elegance, violinist Jennifer Koh ’97 brings a fresh spark to music new and old. In this concert of unaccompanied violin works, she plays music by Bach and violin virtuoso Ysaÿe alongside a multimedia premiere. A new video by artist Tal Rosner will accompany Koh’s performance of contemporary composer and conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Lachen verlernt. A 2009 Grammy nominee, Koh graduated from Oberlin with degrees in music and English.
