Presented by the Creative Arts Foundation of Brevard, Douglas Dyer in Recital will feature a program crafted by Dyer of some of the most artistically challenging and well known works for solo violin. Fans of classical violin will recognize the famous Violin Concerto in E minor, from which Dyer will play the second movement. Also on the program are violin sonatas by Beethoven and Mozart, along with "Caprice # 20 for Solo Violin" by Paganini and "Zigeunerweisen" (Gypsy Airs) by Pablo de Sarasate. Melanie Marteney will provide piano accompaniment. Young Douglas has been a frequent participant in Music on the Hill, the Suntree concert series featuring rising musical stars.
