FUN FOR NEW YEAR 2010

Some time, we just have to do stuff for fun! We are going back many years, to a time when two very good friends made special music together:

Yitzhak Perlman, violin, and Pinchas Zuckerman (violinist and violist), got together to raise money for a musicians pension fund. After they had each played a piece with the orchestra, they came out to center stage together at the end of the concert, and gave the attendees a special gift: A performance of the Handel/Halvorsen Passacaglia for solo violin and viola. This is a piece filled with fun, humor, great string instrument techniques, all built on a simple musical theme and subsequent variations.

Who's Hank

Hank Zauderer is a violinist and an artist. He regularly hosts an evening classical music program at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California. In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.

Hank's taste includes the old Gregorian Chants and related religious works as well as music of the Baroque, Classical, and the Romantic period. Some of his favorites include Mahler, Edward Elgar, Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, and Benjamin Britten.
