Avi Avital & Hanzhi Wang at Sixth & I

Washington Performing Arts Hayes Series alumna and champion concert accordionist Hanzhi Wang is celebrated for her extraordinary virtuosity and captivating stage presence. Grammy-nominated classical mandolinist Avi Avital is best known for his interpretations of popular Baroque and folk music written for performance by other instruments. The duo’s delightfully surprising and equally impressive collaboration comes to the Sixth & I stage in October. Hear a varied program including Bartók’s playful "Romanian Folk Dances," Stravinsky’s graceful and lamenting "Suite Italienne" from "Pulcinella," Saint-Saens’s passionate Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, Sarasate’s "Spanish Dances," Op. 22, and more. The vivacious musicality of this duo is not to be missed!
