Violinist Rachel Lee Priday is a consistently exciting artist, renowned globally for her spectacular technique, sumptuous sound, deeply probing musicianship and “irresistible panache” (Chicago Tribune). Her wide-ranging repertoire and eclectic programming reflect a deep fascination with literary and cultural narratives. Priday will be accompanied by one of the great American virtuoso pianists of his generation, Bryan Wallick.

The Classical Convergence Series is presented by The Lincoln Center and Colorado State University School of Music, Theatre and Dance.
