Kinga Augustyn (violin) and Corrado Ruzza (piano)

Following a hugely successful tour of Italy in Autumn 2021, this dynamic duo return with a programme including works by Sergey Prokofiev, Eugène Ysaÿe and Camille Saint-Saëns.

 

 

Kinga Augustyn is a New York City-based virtuoso violinist. Her “exquisite playing” is often praised for its perfect intonation. “With completely secure technical control, she couples a tapestry of tone color to her innate musicality” (The Fanfare Magazine)

Ms. Augustyn has performed as a soloist with orchestras in the United States, Europe and Asia,
