Robert Koenig

Violinist Janet Sung and Grammy-nominated pianist Robert Koenig are performing a program of sonatas  on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall at SUNY Fredonia.

The program includes sonatas by Saint-Saens, Debussy, and Ravel, and the popular "Ziguenerweisen," by Sarasate.

A string professor for the Fredonia School of Music, Ms. Sung enjoys an acclaimed international career as a virtuoso soloist. She has been a guest soloist with orchestras across the United States and abroad, and has been frequently featured on radio and television in national and international venues. Many of her solo performances have aired on NPR’s “Performance Today.”

Canadian pianist Koenig performs regularly in major centers throughout the world with many of today’s leading artists, including Sarah Chang, Hilary Hahn, Pamela Frank, Roberto Diaz, Elmar Oliveira, and Aaron Rosand. His most recent CD of transcriptions for viola and piano, by William Primrose, was released in July 2006 on Naxos, in collaboration with violinist Roberto Diaz.

Mr. Koenig was nominated for “Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without an orchestra)” at the 49th annual Grammy Awards in 2007.

The recital is free and open to the public.
