Although commonly referred to as ‘violin sonatas,’ Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonatas for Pianoforte and Violin, as he called them, put the violin and piano on equal footing in a way never before heard. This concert features two of his sonatas, namely the 7th and 8th, each capturing the relentless passions of Beethoven’s middle period.

Here to bring these works to life are two of Belgium’s leading young musicians: violinist Jolente de Maeyer and pianist Nikolaas Kende. Praised for their 'symbiotic playing', 'pervasive lyricism' and their 'powerful yet poetic playing', the De Maeyer - Kende duo is being recognized as one of the leading musical duos in Europe.
