Matt Lipman, viola (16) and Clayton Penrose-Whitmore, violin (15)

Video and audio after the jump!

In this program recorded at the Flashpoint Academy in downtown Chicago, Matt Lipman (viola) and Clayton Penrose-Whitmore perform separately and at the end perform the first-ever Introductions string duet. Clayton performed a nontraditional and very technical piece by John Williams from the movie "The Witches of Warwick," and Matt performed an equally challenging Brahms Scherzo and told us about how watching the below youtube video helped him prepare this for performance.
