Virtuoso Duo

The launch of CAMA’s Masterseries at the Lobero with two virtuoso musicians, Avi Avital on mandolin and Hanzhi Wang on accordion, was a heady combination.

Israeli Avital, who has performed with the Community Arts Music Association twice – with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in 2018 and Les Violins du Roy 2021 – was in top form, while the Chinese-born Wang, the only accordionist ever to win a place on the roster of Young Concert Artists in its 60-year history, is the perfect ambassador for the instrument.

The gloriously entertaining show featured works from Bach, Bartók, Saint-Saëns, Stravinsky, Sarasate, De Falla, and Kreisler.

Quite the night…
