What happens when the smallest voice in the string family meets its deepest?

About

David & Goliath, bassist Sam Suggs and violinist Suliman Tekalli explore the thrilling extremes of range, color, and character in a program built on contrast—and connection.

At first glance, the pairing seems improbable: the soaring brilliance of the violin against the cavernous resonance of the double bass. But what unfolds is a conversation of equals—agile, virtuosic, playful, and unexpectedly intimate. The violin dazzles with lyricism and fire; the bass answers with warmth, rhythmic vitality, and astonishing dexterity. Together, they redefine what chamber music can sound like.

This collaboration celebrates both drama and dialogue. From electrifying showpieces to deeply expressive works, David & Goliath highlights the physical and musical theater inherent in the duo—visual contrast matched by sonic depth. Audiences experience the full spectrum of the string world, from shimmering heights to rich, resonant lows.
