Peter Minkler

My hope for this project is to promote and showcase the extraordinary qualities of the viola.

Although oft-maligned and rarely considered a solo instrument, the viola, with its distinctive timbre, rich sonorous tone and closeness in range to the human voice, is capable of expression far exceeding its reputation.

I hope you will join me on this journey of discovery, and experience the same joy and beauty that this instrument, to which I have dedicated my life, can bring.
