Duo Concertante bring a reputation for emotionally engaged, stylistically insightful playing to their compelling exploration of the Romantic violin sonata – a form uniquely suited to personal expression and intimate dialogue.

Robert Schumann’s Sonata No. 1, written in just four days in 1851, pushes against Classical restraint with restless intensity and a raw vulnerability that would influence generations of Romantic composers. Amanda Maier’s Sonata in B minor, composed two decades later and awarded a prize by the Swedish Art Music Society, blends a Schumannesque inheritance with her own voice: equal parts lyrical poise and structural clarity. And in César Franck’s beloved A major sonata, formal ingenuity and sweeping expressivity combine in one of the great pinnacles of the violin-and-piano repertoire.
