About the Artists
Violist Andrew Gonzalez, hailed for his warmhearted playing and mellow tone (The Strad Magazine) has an exciting career as both a soloist and chamber musician, performing in prestigious venues throughout the United States, as well as in halls all over Asia and Europe. Andrew is one of the few people in the world who plays the violoncello da spalla, a five stringed mini cello that is played on the shoulder.
Described as having flawless technique and musicality (The New Yorker) Coleman Itzkoff enjoys a diverse career as a soloist, chamber musician and educator. Coleman demonstrates versatility and command of a wide variety of musical styles, equally comfortable with Renaissance and Baroque music played on period instruments as he is with the eclectic and evermore technically challenging music of today.
Ravenna LIpchik began studying violin at the age of four and made her debut with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra when she was eight, playing the Bach Double Violin Concerto. She has performed throughout the Midwest as well as in Mexico and New Zealand.
Together, these three acclaimed musicians will treat us to a program of gorgeous string music, and give us a rare opportunity to see and hear the violoncello da spalla in person. Invite your family and friends to this uplifting concert that is sure to banish the winter blues!
