Praised by The Strad for his “extremely compelling” interpretations and by Strings Magazine as “simply magnificent,” violinist Max Zorin continues his quest to expand diversity and innovation in modern classical music programming with CONNECTIONS from Navona Records.

Zorin searches for new pathways to connect classical and jazz music in this release, discovering common idioms through the works of Florence Price, William Grant Still, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, George Gershwin, and the commissioned Jazz Waltz for violin and piano written by pianist Vincent Balse, who performs alongside Zorin throughout the program. Stirring, ardent, and all-consuming, these works make a strong case in highlighting lesser known repertoire in the classical canon.
