The Final Chamber Works of Brahms and Rachmaninov is a program that focuses on the subject of finality in multiple senses of the word. Brahms’s Sonata for Viola and Piano Op. 120 No. 2 in E Flat Major and Rachmaninov’s Sonata Op. 19 in G minor for Cello and Piano (arr. for viola) constitute the bulk of the program. In addition to these works, the duo is performing the iconic Spiegel Im Spiegel by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt (which was just recently featured in a Super Bowl Jeep Cherokee advertisement) and they will be premiering a new work commissioned by Vis-À-Vis and written in 2017 by Los Angeles based mezzo-soprano and composer, Shaye Swanson.
