Violin Sonata No 5 in F major Op 24 Spring

Jennifer Pike enjoyed instant success in 2002 when, aged  12, she became the youngest winner of BBC Young Musician of the Year.  Today she’s renowned for her “dazzling interpretative flair and exemplary technique” Classic FM.  Her Bath concert will open with Mozart’s Violin Sonata No 27, then to Lili Boulanger and an early piece, Nocturne, written in 1911.  Boulanger’s death at the age of 24 deprived the world of a composer whose work showed extraordinary promise.  Then to Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No 5, Spring.  The origins of this nickname are unclear but it seems appropriate for a warm, radiant work with one of Beethoven’s most gentle and unhurried finales.  For this Bath Mozartfest concert Jennifer will be joined by her father, the pianist, composer, conductor and teacher, Jeremy Pike.
