The Anguilla Community Foundation is once again holding its Annual Classical Music fund-raising event on February 12 at the Bethel Methodist Church, South Hill, commencing at 7.30 p.m.

Irina Kaufman-Brookes

Preeminent American Violinist, Andrew Sords, and Irina Kaufman-Brookes, Russian Pianist, will present a programme of Western Classical Violin Repertoire.

In the overt-reaching world of music, Eastern and Western music are the most notably different in sound and style with each geographic region having its own distinctive characteristics. The music of the Caribbean Islands is well-documented for the Latin influence, rhythmic vitality and sensuality that pervade the material.

Andrew Sords

Violinist Andrew Sords will bring his extensive knowledge and mastery of Western music to the Eastern Caribbean. Sords will explore the nuances of each work, pairing his American background with the Russian training of collaborator Irina Kaufman-Brookes and present a recital with complex international flavours.

Violin virtuoso Andrew Sords will be performing works of Chopin, Beethoven, John Williams, Schubert, Wieniawski, Stephen Feigenbaum and Tchaqikosky with Anguilla-based Irina Kaufman-Brookes. She in turn will perform two numbers by Grieg Ginzburg and E. Wild.
