The Harley-Fadial Duo has performed across the US and on recording, treating audiences to their probing and thoughtful interpretations, for over twenty years. Pianist Andrew Harley and violinist John Fadial first performed together as faculty colleagues at the University of North Carolina and have managed to continue their collaboration. Their 2019 release of the complete Brahms Sonatas for Piano and Violin on the Centaur label met with critical acclaim and has stoked intense interest in their unique brand of imaginative and expressive interpretation.

From the Artists:

"All the music featured on this program was composed by English musicians who were personally affected by the two World Wars of the first half of the twentieth century. Tonight’s selections come from before, during, and after these conflicts and provide a lens through which we may see British life and indeed all society shift in the winds of war. These worldwide upheavals left no one untouched and the music that we will perform reflects shifts musical form, sentiment, and harmonic language. The works on this program are largely introspective pieces that offer us a view into the human psyche. Perhaps they may provide clarity and solace in today's troubled times."
