Dialogues is a unique collaboration between Ava Pacheco, Caitlin Stokes (violin), Suyeon Kim (piano), and Sarah Wilson (illustration).

Featuring works by Lera Auerbach, Toru Takemitsu, and Karol Szymanowski, Dialogues is Ava Pacheco’s first recording project. Throughout the three pieces featured on Dialogues, the violin’s individual voice takes on different personas, engaging in conversations both external and internal. This is ultimately not only a musical conversation, but an interdisciplinary one as well, combining musical expression with visual art and poetry.
