Farmington is fortunate to welcome to Nordica Auditorium the accomplished violin/piano duo of Dean Stein and Chiharu Naruse on Nov. 2 at 3pm. The event is sponsored by the Arts Institute of Western Maine (AIWM).

Dean Stein and Chiharu Naruse teach at Bates College where they have succeeded in mastering and performing all ten of Beethoven’s violin sonatas. Their Farmington concert will include Violin Sonata #1, #5 (“Spring Sonata”) and #9 (also known as “The Kreutzer)” immortalized by Tolstoy’s dark novella The Kreutzer Sonata.

Mr. Stein has performed internationally in recitals, with orchestras, in chamber music ensembles, and as a soloist. A passionate advocate for chamber music, he is currently first violinist with the Portland String Quartet.

Ms. Naruse has performed worldwide in recitals and competitions. She moved to Maine in 2002 and is an active performer, teacher, chamber music coach, and adjudicator. The Portland Press Herald referred to her as a “world class artist that would grace any concert stage.”

Tickets for The Naruse/Stein Duo can be purchased at the door: $12 for adults and FREE for anyone 18 years old and younger or with a student ID. AIWM is an affiliate of the University of Maine at Farmington. For more information on AIWM visit www.artsinstitute.org.
