Diane Berry, one of the three Principals in Augment Trio Promotions recently had piece for violin and piano, 'Persistent Insistence' performed as part of the Osmose Music Festival in Brussels (how cool is that!!). It's a three minute piece, which usually seems short, but Diane turned the idea on it's head and wrote a piece that by the three minute mark, you're ready to have it done. A recording of that performance is available here. Have a listen and enjoy.
