Miles Cohen, the Society's artistic director, says Kavakos is technically flawless.

"He's just a musician that is so thoughtful in the way he communicates the music. In addition to that technique, it's a rare combination that you don't often see," Cohen explains.

Kavakos and his Stradivarius will be playing with another fabulous musician.

"An all Beethoven program with a wonderful pianist, Enrico Pace, who he's performed for about six or seven years, so they have a great rapport together," Cohen says.

And the intimacy of the small venue makes it perfect for appreciating the music and understanding its meaning.
