ABOUT THIS CONCERT
MIRANDA CUCKSON LEADS A SPECIAL PROGRAM HONORING VIOLINIST LEONORA
JACKSON MCKIM, whose Stradivari violin will be loaned to the Library
for this special evening. Mrs. McKim was one of the Library’s great
patrons, whose gift has commissioned dozens of works for violin and
piano. Featured on this program is a variety of works featuring
strings from solo violin to piano quartet, including the Finale of
Beethoven’s early string trio, op. 3—the manuscript of which
resides at the Library.
