Published



Two musicians, together onstage for the first time in recital, can be a daunting prospect even for the most seasoned performers. “You’re never sure until the first rehearsal how you will be in sync,” said Israeli-born pianist Inon Barnatan, who performs with violinist Gil Shaham on Sunday at the Music Center at Strathmore. “You play the first notes and if it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t matter how many rehearsals you have, it won’t sound like a unified performance. Gil and I are very lucky because it works!”

With far more talent than luck, the two will perform works by Bach, Schubert and Franck in this evening’s concert presented by the Washington Performing Arts Society.
