Julia Plaut - Lime Dance (solo violin)

Since the inception of nightmusic – the new-music concert series at St David’s Hall, Cardiff – Tŷ Cerdd has commissioned a short work by a Welsh composer for each event. Where possible, the works are published and recorded, and can be heard on Tŷ Cerdd’s Soundcloud.

Lime Dance by Julia Plaut was first performed on February 14th 2023 by Callum Smart.

The composer writes:

The solo violin limbers its way from gentle stretches to a folk inspired dance via a tone row or two and some citrusy double-stops and crispy pizzicato moments. Lime Dance is an exploration of both the introverted and extroverted personality of the violin.
