Description
UMBC presents violinist Airi Yoshioka and pianist Adam Kent in concert. The duo's program will feature Schubert's Sonatina No. 1, D. 384; Richard Strauss's Sonata, Op. 18; and Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky's Solo for violin.

Violinist Airi Yoshioka has concertized throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Canada as a recitalist, soloist and chamber musician. Deeply committed to chamber music, she is the founding member of the Damocles Trio and Modigliani Quartet and has performed and recorded with the members of the Emerson, Brentano and Arditti Quartets. Damocles Trio's debut disc of complete Piano Trios and Piano Quartet of Joquín Turina has won a four-star rating from the BBC Music Magazine, Le Monde de la Musique and Diapason.

Her orchestral credits include performances with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, American Sinfonietta and engagements as concertmaster and soloist with the Manhattan Virtuosi and concertmaster of one of the festival orchestras at the Aspen Music Festival. An enthusiastic performer of new music, she was one of the original members and concertmasters of the New Juilliard Ensemble and had performed annually in Juilliard's FOCUS! Festival and is currently a member of Continuum, ModernWorks!, RUCKUS, Son Sonora, and Azure Ensemble. Of a performance with the New Juilliard Ensemble, The New York Times wrote, "Airi Yoshioka played the violin solo touchingly", and of a performance with Continuum of Dallapiccola's music, The New York Times wrote "Powerfully communicative...violinist Airi Yoshioka [played] a lovely 'Due Studi.' The performances were as varied as the music." She has premiered dozens of works and her latest recording project of works for violin and electronics includes commissions from such prominent women composers as Tania León, Linda Dusman, Alice Shields and Milica Paranosic.
