Two films released by the Library of Congress, featuring Michael Alec Rose in conversation with violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved about Rose’s two solo violin works composed expressly for the Brookings Amati and Ward Stradivari violins.
Both instruments have a home in the Music Division at the Library, a collection curated by Carol Lynn Ward Bamford.
