The Zvi Zeitlin Farewell Faculty Recital takes place Sunday, February 19, 3 p.m. at Kilbourn Hall. PHOTO PROVIDED
An all-Schubert concert for strings and piano on a Sunday afternoon at Kilbourn Hall. It could only be made lovelier when the concert is a celebration of retirement after 45 years of teaching at the Eastman School of Music. Violinist Zvi Zeitlin will perform on the eve of his 90th birthday to culminate a career of teaching and performing, including more than 200 concerts for Allied troops stationed in the Middle East and Greece from 1943 to 1946, while he was a soldier in the Royal Air Force during WWII. Zeitlin was born in Dubrovna, Belarus, raised and educated in Israel, and, at age 11, became the youngest scholarship student to enter the Juilliard School. Zeitlin will be joined by Barry Snyder, piano; John Irrera and Samantha Moraes, violins; Kelsey Farr, viola; and Austin Fisher, cello.
The Zvi Zeitlin Farewell Faculty Recital takes place Sunday, February 19, 3 p.m. at Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs St. $10/free with UR ID. 274-1100, eastman.rochester.edu.
