Christopher Karwacinski (Violin)

Stephen King (Piano)

Afternoon Violin – Piano Recital – 5 pm

Wednesday 26 June 2019

On Wednesday 26 June at 5pm we were thrilled to welcome back Christopher Karwacinski (violin) to the Cathedral when he was accompanied by Stephen King at the piano in a splendid afternoon recital.

The highly appreciative audience were treated to a wonderful mix of pieces from the pure excellence of Bach through the ever popular Massenet, Elgar and Vaughan Williams, to the perhaps less well-known but equally lovely Dvorak, and culminating in the movingly evocative theme music from Schindler’s List.

Throughout the recital Christopher’s excellence at the violin was beautifully complemented by Stephen’s sensitive playing.

There was many a damp eye amongst those who were lucky enough to be present and who joined in the standing ovation at the end of the recital.

Programme

Among his many talents Christopher is also a Tuba player, a mathematician and an Olympic standard exponent of karate. Let us all hope that his hands remain undamaged in his sporting activities!
