Gil Shaham & Akira Eguchi

Violinist Gil Shaham and pianist Akira Eguchi have been performing together for over twenty years, and it shows. Shaham throws himself into each piece joyfully, and Eguchi deftly picks up the thread, rounding out the performance into a cohesive whole. Together, they take on a wide-ranging program, including Avner Dorman’s 2013 “Nigunim,” which Shaham commissioned. Based on motifs found in Jewish folk music, the intense piece is a showcase for Shaham’s considerable technical skills.
