Ekin Kuzukiran, violinist and diploma student at Malmö Academy of Music, presents an exciting solo recital at Palladium entitled Dialogue Across Eras. Duration: 90 minutes The Salon: 6:40 PM | On stage: 7:00 PM Bar and Bistro open from: 6:00 PM This graduation recital marks the culmination of several years of study and explores the violin’s evolving expressive language through a programme that combines classical depth with the distinctive character of 20th-century music. The programme centres around two key figures in the violin repertoire: Ludwig van Beethoven and Sergei Prokofiev. Through their music, a fascinating contrast emerges between different musical eras and forms of expression. The evening highlights the stylistic transition between Beethoven’s passionate, conversational musical language and Prokofiev’s distinctive 20th-century aesthetic, characterised by driving rhythms, sharp wit and an almost cinematic lyricism. Complementing these major sonatas are solo works from different periods, further highlighting the violin’s rich palette of expression and colour. An engaging and varied concert experience that reflects both musical development and a multifaceted repertoire, offering audiences an insight into how different eras have shaped the voice of the violin.
