Recital: Ruth Palmer, Violinist

Ruth Palmer has toured her solo concert series Hidden Acoustics across the UK and Italy, including the Limonaia at NYU’s Villa La Pietra in Florence, and a cloister open to the sky for Rimini’s Assalti al Cuore Festival. She uses musical programs centered on Bach to reveal startling acoustics hidden in architecture.
Ruth said, Bach’s solo violin music has its own hidden acoustics in its counterpoint, and I have found that solo violin allows me the purest link to the space and acoustic of the building in which I am playing. To me, when the piece of music and the building match in spirit, something magical happens.
Ruth performs works by J.S. Bach and E Ysaÿe in the Marble Atrium of NYU's Casa Italiana, a historical landmark of Greenwich Village.
