During the concert four centuries of music are crossed following the thread of the violin. In the partita by Bach, the violin symbolises the peak of the baroque art. In the sonata by Khatchatourian, the violin evokes the folklore of the Balkan. De Mey, last but not least, uses the instrument for a very courteous passacaille.
