Dominican violinist Aisha Syed will be debuting at the Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall as part of Independence Day celebrations on 27 February 2018. The performance is part of her “Golden Land World Tour” that is taking the 28-year old violinist to 14 countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia. The Dominican Heritage and Culture Society, based in New York, is presenting the concert to commemorate the 174th Anniversary of Dominican Independence.
Her program includes a wide variety of works by Ravel, Bach, Franck, and Paganini, including those with Spanish roots – de Falla’s Danse espagnole and Spanish composer Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy.
She will be playing a 1690 Stradivarius violin generously provided by Florian Leonhard Fine Violins and will be accompanied by pianist Martin Labazevitch.
Syed is an Honorary Goodwill Cultural Ambassador for the Dominican Republic. She has performed all over the world in venues such as the Luxembourg Palace in Paris, Wigmore Hall in London, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, in addition to performing on BBC Radio 3.
Her 2018-2019 season highlights include her debut at Carnegie Hall, National Performing Arts Center in India, the Arsht Center in Florida, Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico, Kirchner Center Symphonic Hall in Argentina, and others.
Tickets for the performance are US$150, in support of the Dominican Heritage and Culture Society, and are available at carnegiehall.org or by calling CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800.
