LEOPOLD’S VIOLIN
Featuring Christopher Collins Lee, violin 8 p.m. Nov. 15
Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang’s father and teacher, once owned a 1680 Cremona violin — which now belongs to internationally known violinist Christopher Collins Lee, who will play Mozart’s 3rd Violin Concerto at the HHSO’s Nov. 15 concert. You will also hear Bartók’s Dances, Arensky’s lush variations and Shostakovich’s Quartet rescored for string orchestra.
Lee became a protegè of Zino Francescatti at the age of 16. He studied violin and composition at Curtis and Juilliard, earned a doctorate degree, was named a Fulbright Scholar and has been awarded four honorary doctorate degrees.
