Guest artists Janice Vincent, violin, and Robert Nakea, piano, will be playing in the Madsen Recital Hall at Brigham Young University Saturday, Aug. 14, at 7:30 p.m. This event is free.

They will begin the concert by performing the Sonata No. 1 in F major, Op. 8 for violin and piano by Edvard Hagerup Grieg.
