An evening where the solo violin creates entire worlds

With Violin Recital: From Bach to Bacewicz, violinist Usha Kapoor presents her solo sound language on 15.05.2026 at Gasteig HP8, Hall X. The program spans three centuries and highlights the concentrated power of the solo violin: from Max Reger through Johann Sebastian Bach to Grażyna Bacewicz and Eugène Ysaÿe.

Baroque architecture, romantic depth, modern energy

The evening focuses on changes of tension and clear lines. Bach's Partita in D minor BWV 1004 with its famous Chaconne forms an emotional and formal core, while Bacewicz brings the rhythmic precision and expressive sharpness of the 20th century. Complemented by Reger and Ysaÿe, the program makes the development of the solo violin audible and connects technique with depth.

Large windows, modern technology, and the direct closeness to the action create a live atmosphere where virtuosity and concentration unfold immediately.

Usha Kapoor between precision and expression

Usha Kapoor is present as a violinist on international stages and works in her repertoire with pieces that combine high technical demands with stylistic differences. For this recital, the focus is not on showmanship, but on musical architecture, timbre, and the tension between structure and emotion. This is precisely what gives a solo recital its unique attraction.
