Eka Gogichashvili Performs a Faculty Recital for Solo Violin

Eka Gogichashvili, Baylor University’s Associate Professor of Violin, will present a solo recital on Friday, October 1, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in Armstrong Browning Library’s Hankamer Treasure Room.
Her program will open with the famous “Ciaccona” movement from Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004, written in 1720 by the great German master, Johann Sebastian Bach.
Next, Dr. Gogichashvili will play Sonata-Monologue for Solo Violin by the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. This one-movement work was Khachaturian’s penultimate composition, written in 1975 for the gifted Kiev-born violinist Viktor Pikaizen, who was a prized pupil of the legendary David Oistrakh.
The program will close with Alexi Machavariani’s Doluri (“Drum Dance”), conceived for solo violin in 1986. Machavariani was a Georgian composer and conductor who lived from 1913 to 1995.
This concert is free of charge and open to the public.
