Kim Kashkashian Gala

May 19, Sunday 2:30PM, $50

Grammy award-winning violist Kim Kashkashian has been hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “an artist who combines a probing, restless intellect with enormous beauty of tone.” Internationally recognized as a unique voice on the viola, her legendary work as a performing and recording artist and pedagogue is renowned worldwide, and she has tirelessly worked to broaden the range of technique and repertoire of the viola. Her orchestral engagements, recitals and chamber appearances have taken her to major stages globally, where she also appears with her Trio Tre Voci, and in duo partnerships with pianist Robert Levin and percussionist Robyn Schulkowsky. She is on the faculty of the New England Conservatory and is founder and Artistic Director of Music for Food, a musician-led hunger relief initiative.

In this afternoon’s gala fundraiser concert, Kim will perform with LAMP’s string fellows - extremely talented emerging artists from around the world including Madelyn Kowalski, Rebecca Benjamin, and LAMP’s Resident Pianist Anna Han.
