This program brings together the celebrated British violinist and SMF debutant Jack Liebeck, with the ever popular and familiar pianist Sebastian Knauer in what will undoubtedly be a colorful and vibrant duo recital.
British/German violinist, director and festival director Jack Liebeck, possesses “flawless technical mastery” and a “beguiling silvery tone” (BBC Music Magazine). Liebeck is the Royal Academy of Music’s first Émile Sauret Professor of Violin and Artistic Director of the Australian Festival of Chamber Music.
German pianist Sebastian Knauer has appeared in most every season since 2004 in roles including recitalist, soloist, conductor and chamber musician.

He is also the Artistic Director of the Internationale Musikfestwoche in Bad Berleburg and the Beethoven Festival in Aachen.
