Filmed exclusively for Cal Performances at the Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley on October 3, 2021, Grammy-nominated violinist Tessa Lark returns after her “vibrant and often captivating” (San Francisco Chronicle) season-opening Cal Performances at Home online debut last fall, with her in-person Berkeley debut.

She is joined by pianist Amy Yang, who also accompanied Lark on her acclaimed 2019 debut recording, Fantasy. “A performer of both grit and tenderness, with a distinctive string tone that combines meatiness and finesse in equal measure” (San Francisco Chronicle).
