LYNX / Shadow Dances is an eclectic violin duo program that invites us to see beyond the veil of the ordinary. A gateway to the strange and uncharted—featuring Saint-Saen’s Danse Macabre, where death invites the living to a midnight dance, the iconic theme from the 90s sci-fi series The X-Files, and selections from Bartok’s 44 Duos for 2 Violins, known for its unexpected tonalities and asymmetrical rhythms.

LYNX is a violin duo that takes its name from both the distant constellation and the enigmatic animal known for its sharp vision and ability to see in the dark. Both in mythology and in nature, the lynx is a symbol of deep intuition and hidden knowledge, traits that guide us as we explore unexpected linkages between works across a wide variety of genres, time periods, and universes.
