STEPHEN WAARTS, violin & JUHO POHJONEN, piano

Post-performance Talk Back

His playing is simply extraordinary.

— The Atlanta Journal Constitution (Juho Pohjonen)

These two award-winning soloists have demanding international careers, playing to packed houses and captivating audiences around the world. In recent years they have found the time to partner for chamber music appearances at renowned festivals and in select cities around the world. Luckily for us, Vancouver is one of those cities! When Stephen and Juho perform together, their ease is apparent and their enjoyment is infectious. Both artists are familiar faces at the VRS, and last appeared together on our series in 2024 with cellist Jonathan Swensen. We are thrilled to welcome them back for a duo recital!

A rich and poetic sound that leaves audiences mesmerized.

— The Violin Channel (Stephen Waarts)
