| Background: |
Guest violinist Jaime Laredo has more than 40 years before the public excelling in the multiple roles of soloist, conductor, recitalist and chamber musician. Since his attention-getting orchestral debut at the age of 11 with the San Francisco Symphony, Laredo has won the admiration and respect of audiences, critics and fellow musicians with his passionate and polished performances.
This Grammy-winning violinist “whose art goes deeper than virtuosity” (Miami Herald), has played with more than 100 international orchestras, including Boston, Chicago, London, New York, Cleveland and Philadelphia with esteemed conductors, Barenboim, Mata, Mehta, Ormandy, Slatkin, Stokowski and Szell. His solo and chamber recitals have graced the stages of the finest international music centers and he has collaborated with many eminent artists of the century, including Pablo Casals, Mstislav Rostropovich and Isaac Stern.
The University Orchestra, under the leadership of Kimo Furumoto, regularly performs with world-class guest artists, including Deborah Voigt, St. Petersburg String Quartet and Richard Stoltzman. This May, members of the orchestra will travel with the university’s Chamber Choir to Eastern Europe for a 14-day tour. The trip includes performances in the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, in Krakow and Prague.
Additionally, the two ensembles will perform at two significant summer music festivals — the Bojnice Summer Cultural Festival at the Bojnice Castle in Slovakia and Camerata Nova Festival in the Czech city of Náchod.
