Folk-music has been a resource for classical composers since the beginning of the western tradition. The violin has it's own folk heritage, of course, but since you can't lug a piano from village to village, composers for that instrument have had to dig into their own musical roots to generate a folk-based keyboard repertoire, usually with refreshing results. This recital takes the listener on a journey that spans three continents, east to west, marrying the resources of the modern concert grand with the immediacy of the folk originals.
