Two experienced musicians who both became involved in music at four years of age are performing a program of European and English music at The Old School House arts centre in Qualicum Beach this Sunday — including sonatas which have yet to be performed in Canada.
Finnish violinist Lotta Lundsten has been part of orchestral training programs, summer festivals and concert tours which have taken her across Scandinavia, Central Europe and the United States.
