Duo De Vries / Mitchell plays Ruth Crawford Seeger, Frederic Rzewski, and Robert Schumann
Jellantsje de Vries, violin and Bobby Mitchell, piano have been focusing on integrating certain contemporary works for violin and piano into the repertoire by combining them with some unique gems from the past. The rarely performed sonata for piano and violin by Ruth Crawford Seeger pairs well with some recent works of Frederic Rzewski called 'Satires.' Robert Schumann's diabolic 1st violin sonata brings the performance full circle.
