DUBAI – Violinist Lina Tur Bonet and pianist Alba Ventura, two of Spain’s most accomplished musicians, entertained music-lovers with a selection of classical pieces at the Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre on Tuesday (15 February).
The mellifluous, cascading notes of Alba’s piano blended beautifully with Lina’s violin strains as the duo put their own stamp on some well-known classical compositions, including a selection by the French composer Maurice Ravel.
Lina Tur Bonet, described as one of the most exciting violinists of her generation, has worked with a large number of remarkable performers of baroque, romantic and contemporary music, while Alba Ventura made her debut as a concert soloist at the age of 13, performing with the Cadaqués Orchestra of Spain before going on to enjoy an international solo career. She is a professor at the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu.
