Getting to Know a Kerson
We spend the hour getting to know Kerson Leong, who brings his violin to the Peristyle as soloist for B\xe9la Bart\xf3k's Second Violin Concerto. Kerson leads us through the intricacies of Bart\xf3k's music, and recounts his early interest in the instrument (that is, after his parents discouraged Kerson's original choice, the double-bass - fearing transportation issues). And for our quiz of the day, we check in with Kerson's updated answers to the Violin Channel's Q&A (available on YouTube) from 2016.
