Vov Dylan and Glenn Amer, a violin and piano duo, together give the audience a melody to tap their feet to, a melody that pulls at their heart strings, a bit of virtuosity to drop the jaw, and a few laughs that help to make the violin accessible by all audiences. They will be performing numerous favourites from the works of Kreiseler to Strauss II, Chopin to Herman Hupfeld's As Time Goes By.
