The 2014-15 season of the Asheville Chamber Music Series opens with a program by pianist Bradley Martin and violinist Justin Bruns. The two musicians come with impressive resumes — Martin, an associate professor at Western Carolina University’s school of music, has appeared with the Pacific Music Festival in Japan and the Bolshoi Theatre in Russia. Bruns began studying the violin at age 3 and made his solo debut at 9. He’s now the assistant concertmaster of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and has performed throughout the U.S. and England. Together, the artists will play selections including Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 7, Op. 30 No. 2; and Violin Sonata No. 1, Op. 12 No. 1; as well as Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Piano. The concert takes place at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville on Friday, Sept. 12, at 8 p.m. Season tickets are $150, individual tickets are $38. ashevillechambermusic.org.
