 From left to right: Sharon Isbin, Joshua Bell
This summer, the First Lady Michelle Obama and the White House celebrated Jazz music with a Jazz Studio session. The concert was one of a series of student workshops the First Lady has been hosting. Next week another workshop will be held in the East Room, this one a classical music session.
The New York Times’ Caucus blog reports the features: “...Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell, Grammy-award winning guitarist Sharon Isbin, along with the cellist Alisa Weilerstein and the pianist Awadagin Pratt. The concert will also include child protégés Sujari Britt and Jason Yoder, who will accompany Ms. Weilerstein in duets.
Fans of our concert programming at 92Y have most likely seen some of these artists here on our stage.
Sharon Isbin performed this May in the last concert of our 08/09 season, and Joshua Bell, who also performed in the 08/09 season, will be here again on Jan 3 for The Melodious Master: The Life and Music of Fauré. Joining Bell will be celloist Steven Isserlis, Maria Lambros on viola, pianist Jeremy Denk, and Judy Kuhn as narrator, with additional artists to be announced.
