Paganini: 9 Caprices
In January 2022, violinist Sean Lee and pianist Peter Dugan celebrate Paganini in the first-ever performance of all 24 Caprices in the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s 52-year history as well as the release of a new EP of nine Caprices with accompanying music videos. A top prizewinner at the “Premio Paganini” International Violin Competition, Lee embraces the legacy of his late mentor, violinist Ruggiero Ricci, as one of few violinists who dare to perform the complete 24 Caprices of Niccolò Paganini in recital. His ongoing educational YouTube series Paganini POV uses modern technology to share a unique perspective on violin playing.
