Romantic Voices

Violinist Danbi Um embodies the tradition of the great Romantic style, her natural vocal expression coupled with virtuosic technique. Partnered by pianist Orion Weiss, making his Music@Menlo debut, she offers a program of music she holds closest to her heart, a stunning variety of both favorites and delightful discoveries. Danbi Um will be joined by violinist Paul Huang for Sarasate’s Spanish Dances at the end of this program.
