This program was chosen to showcase Sarah's love for early 20th-century British repertoire, particularly its unusual mix of reserved introspection, pastoral beauty, and deep emotion under a seemingly tranquil surface. All of the pieces on the program were written in the same WWI decade, before the war and at its very beginning and end. There is also an interesting connection to female violinists of the time.
