MARSHALL — The Marshall Area Fine Arts Council describes the upcoming show in its concert series as a “concert that all audiences can enjoy for the beauty and familiarity of the music as well as for the outstanding musicianship and personable onstage demeanors” of the performers.

Times Two, featuring Netanel Draiblate on violin and Lura Johnson on piano, will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Schwan Community Center for the Performing Arts at Marshall High School. The concert is part of the Marshall Area Fine Arts Council’s 2019-2020 Concert Series.

A news release from MAFAC said the duo’s program contains “well-loved classical works from Edward Elgar and JS Bach, to virtuoso pieces for the violin from Fritz Kreisler, to movie favorites from John Williams, ‘Schindler’s List‚’ and ‘Scent of a Woman,’ — this team captures the audience with great music, great performances and great audience interaction.”

According to the biography on his website, Draiblate has colllaborated with Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Jaime Laredo, Pinchas Zukerman and Cho Liang Lin. He has appeared with the American Symphony at Carnegie Hall, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, the Brasilia Concert Society Orchestra and Turkey’s Bursa Symphony Orchestra. He serves as the director of Chamber Music at Georgetown University and is the founder and director of the Annapolis Symphony Academy. He’s been called by the Washington Post “a violinist who combines confidence and virtuosity with a playful musical personality” According to Johnson’s biography on her website, Johnson is principal pianist of the Delaware Symphony and regular guest pianist for the Baltimore Symphony. She has played principal keyboard for seven albums recorded by the Baltimore Symphony, including “Bernstein’s Mass,” which received a Grammy nomination in 2010. She also has a solo album, “Turning,” been part of three chamber music albums, and several orchestral recordings for the Decca Classics, Naxos, Innova, Centaur, Albany, and Azica labels.

Johnson said she and Draiblate live in the same region and had heard of each other by reputation. In 2009, the two were playing together at a concert in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They met, and started playing together, she said, and found they had a good musical chemistry. The first piece they did together was a Greig sonata.

“We actually decided to make a CD together right off the bat,” Johnson said. The CD is titled “Perspectives.”

Johnson said they both come from a place of being strong leaders in an orchestral setting.

“It makes use somewhat of a powerhouse musical duo,” she said.

What people experience when they hear Times Two play, Johnson said, includes excellent technique.

One of the things the duo showcases, she said, is a lot of different variety inside piano and violin combinations. They both will play solo pieces, and some that are a showcase for the violin. There’s also chamber music pieces where the instruments are equal partners, she said.

Johnson said their program is “light-hearted,” which includes dance music, tangos, gypsy music and violin sonatas. She said they also talk about the pieces they are about to perform, the history of them.

Earlier this week, Times Two performed in Antigo, Wisconsin, where they received a standing ovation.

“People had such a good time,” Johnson said. She said some of the feedback they got from the audience included “entertaining” and “awe-inspiring.”

Four years ago, Johnson said she and Draiblate toured as Times Two to Montana, Iowa and New Mexico. They are currently on a tour of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

“We’ve kind of been all over,” she said.
