A return virtuoso performance of concert violinist and recording artist Kinga Augustyn comes to Yreka for an evening performance at St. Marks Preservation Square, 304 Lane Street, Yreka, Saturday, November 9th, 7:00 PM. Doors will open at 6:30. Local classical music lovers are fortunate in that Kinga’s visits to Yreka early in the Holiday season have become a tradition. Again, she will be sharing the stage with pianist Alexander Tutunov.
The evening’s program will feature selections from Ludwig van Beethoven, Edward Grieg, Fritz Kreisler, Antonin Dvorak, Pablo de Sarasate, and others.
