After months of relative calm, it’s refreshing to have some big news to share!  I am honored to announce that I will join the conservatory faculty at Bard College together with my wife, the wonderful violinist Adele Anthony. Beyond performing, we both look forward to private teaching, chamber music coaching, and master classes at this wonderful conservatory. How fitting that we have a performance together at Bard’s gorgeous Fisher Center at the end of this month! Adele and I are working hard with pianist Eri Kang in preparation for our August 24 live show on the newly launched Dreamstage Live platform. It’s an exciting program and I hope you can join us there live!

The Gilharmonic on Violinist.com continues to be a highlight for Gil as this summer without usual concerts and festivals continues. Called “the happiest hour of violin talk online,” the weekly show hosted by Gil and editor Laurie Niles on Sundays at 2pm EDT has featured guests including young Suzuki violinists, students at top conservatories, esteemed pedagogues such as Kurt Sassmannshaus, and premiere artists like Tessa Lark, Elena Urioste, and Roby Lakatos. July brings several other virtual performance opportunities for Gil, including an exclusive full video-streamed recital from Tanglewood’s Seiji Ozawa Hall on July 3 (tickets here, with viewing available through July 10) and participation in Performance Santa Fe’s virtual gala on July 18 together with over a dozen other first-rate artists (free registration here).
