“Opposites attract,” or so we are told. Yet in practice, difference can feel unsettling — even dangerous. The unfamiliar is often resisted, caricatured, or pushed away altogether. But what if opposites crossed the divide instead? What if, in meeting one another, they discovered the power not only to challenge, but also to inspire and transform?“Rift” explores this volatile interplay through trio sonatas, a genre built on both conflict and collaboration: violinists spar, intertwine, compete, and ultimately arrive at moments of astonishing harmony.
