Between Storm and Song

Music that gives voice to our journey from strife through struggle to satisfying resolution. Tanya Charles plays Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 Canadian composer Alice Ping Yee Ho’s Quest is about strength and bravery when new ventures bring adversity. The piece itself was written to challenge new players with different bowing techniques, rhythmic patterns and string effects in their own quest for artistic mastery. In Tanya Charles’ masterful hands, the violin doesn’t just dazzle – it speaks and sings with warmth. The expressive vocal quality and range of Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 has made it one of the most cherished concertos in the repertoire. Brahms’ monumental Symphony No. 1 unfolds with depth and grandeur. From its brooding opening to its triumphant finale, this timeless masterwork traces a journey we’ve all experienced: from strife through struggle to soaring resolution.
