The first event in the High Desert Chamber Music SPOTLIGHT Series will feature Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Frank Almond, in a special recital titled “A Violin’s Life”. Joined by pianist Rachelle McCabe, most of this program repertoire was specifically chosen for the historical connection with the “Lipinski” Stradivarius that he performs on. Crafted in 1715, this year marks the 300th anniversary of the instrument. In 2013, his recording of the same name charted in the Billboard Top 10 in its first week of release. He will also be joined by HDCM founder and violinist Isabelle Senger for the incredible Moszkowski Suite for Two Violins and Piano.

Program: Rontgen Sonata, Bach Chaconne from D minor Partita, Rorem Selections from Day Music and Night Music, Moszkowski Suite for Two Violins and Piano Op.71

Join Frank for a pre-concert talk about the Lipinski Stradivarius and the program beginning at 6:45pm. This event is free for all ticket holders.

Tickets available through HDCM by phone or online. Come hear the music!
