Matinée – Lara St. John and Matt Herskowitz
Drawn together by a passion for performance across genres, violinist Lara St. John and pianist Matt Herskowitz stand at the height of their musical generation. Fresh off their latest collaboration, “The Key of A,” St. John and Herskowitz match her striking expression to his vibrant tone in a program ranging from folk arrangements to new works by composer Jesse Montgomery to César Franck’s Sonata in A Major.
