Philip Glass wrote 'Pendulum' to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the American Civil Liberties Union. It was premièred in this duo form in New York City in 2011, originally having been scored for piano trio and premièred on Ellis Island the previous year. Opening the concert with Greig's sunny 2nd violin sonata, the duo performs Saint-Saëns' richly romantic first sonata to close.
