Join violinist Ilana Zaks for an engaging one-hour session exploring the unique world of composer-violinists—musicians who not only perform but also create their own works. Through live performance, storytelling, and historical context, Ilana will illuminate the artistry, challenges, and inspirations behind some of the violin’s most celebrated repertoire.

Participants will gain insight into how composers who were also performers shaped the music of their time, and how these works continue to inspire audiences and musicians today. This session is perfect for music lovers, performers, and anyone curious about the intersection of creativity and virtuosity on the violin.
