She joins us for her 92NY debut in our newly renovated Buttenwieser Hall, showcasing the talent that has been making both audiences and critics take notice. Her bold solo set includes the New York premiere of Drishti – a work written for her by acclaimed Indian-American composer Reena Esmail, and named for a focus concept in yoga – and Esa-Pekka Salonen's joyful, Pierrot Lunaire-inspired Lachen Verlernt, a piece that has become a contemporary touchstone of the solo violin repertoire. Porter and De Silva close the program with Strauss's lyrical E-flat major Sonata, reflecting the range of talent and viewpoint of this compelling young artist.
