Episode 8, with Vijay Gupta and Gil Shaham
Sunday, 2 August, 2020

This week Gil Shaham and Violinist.com editor Laurie Niles talk with Los Angeles violinist Vijay Gupta, 2018 recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Grant who also founded "Street Symphony" to bring music performances and education to homeless and incarcerated communities. He'll play a gorgeous new piece, "When the Violin," by LA-based composer Reena Esmail. Colburn student John Fawcett will play one of the most difficult pieces in all the repertoire, the "Last Rose of Summer" by Wilhelm Ernst. And our youngest guest so far, Claire Oviedo, will play "Andantino" from Suzuki Book 1, and talk to us about her very impressive practice streak of 342 consecutive days!
