Violinist Karen Gomyo with musical canyons, canons and crickets

Violinist Karen Gomyo reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light. With the sounds of a cedar flute and Indian violin, and favourite pieces by Grieg, Beethoven and Elgar.

Violinist Karen Gomyo brings a unique playlist to Inside Music, with an array of sounds including a violin that sounds like a cricket, the multi-stringed Indian violin and a cedar flute echoing through the canyons of the vast American Southwest. Karen also brings her musician’s insight to some firm favourites by Grieg, Beethoven, Sibelius and Elgar and introduces music played by violist Hiyoli Togawa that will get you in the mood for a good spring clean.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
