Rachel Barton Pine, violin
Acclaimed as one of the most charismatic, virtuosic, and compelling American violinists on the classical scene, Ms. Barton Pine brings her gift to adoring audiences around the world. The Chicago Tribune notes “…a big, burnished tone; the brilliance, agility and precision of a bel canto diva…she has the knack of reaching out to an audience and holding them at awed attention in a manner all her own.”
“…Her technical skills can make the jaw drop.  She has a full, singing sweet tone and plays with a confidence and élan that make an audience’s heart soar.”   Chicago Sun Times
Guest artist sponsors:  Gene & Arlene Weston
