Gil Shaham, violin and Orli Shaham, piano

This event is part of the annual Classical Series. Single tickets to this performance and subscriptions for the 2024-2025 Classical Series will be available for purchase starting May 28.

GRAMMY Award–winning violinist and Musical America’s 2012 Instrumentalist of the Year, Gil Shaham, returns to Wisconsin Union Theater for a recital with “brilliant pianist” (The New York Times) and Van Cliburn Competition jury member Orli Shaham. Hear the duo perform works by two under-appreciated 19th–century women virtuoso composers—Swedish violinist Amanda Röntgen–Maier and pianist Clara Schumann—alongside their male peers Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms in a concert that promises both to deepen appreciation and to expand awareness of the greatest exponents of Romantic chamber music.

Stay tuned for information about a studio class with Gil and Orli Shaham!
