More from Irina Muresanu

​Friends of the Needham Concert Society will recall that acclaimed violinist Irina Muresanu played at our last live concert before the pandemic. She was already familiar to NCS concertgoers from a 2018 concert entitled "Rorem, Ravel and Ragtime," performed with pianist Roberto Plano.

If you missed that program, want to hear it again, or wonder what Ned Rorem, Maurice Ravel, and ragtime have to do with one another, please click here for the recital recorded on March 19, 2021, at Harvard Musical Association. Advance to minute 10:17, press play, sit back, and enjoy! Program notes available here.
