Lisa Batiashvili performed Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Daniel Hope performed in recital with pianist Sebastian Knauer at the Phillips Collection.

Washington Post: "There was a sensitive quality to Hope’s playing from the outset, and his lyrical phrasing soared effortlessly above the glistening accompaniment by the pianist Sebastian Knauer."

The Jerusalem Quartet performed for the Friends of Chamber Music at Temple Beth Am in Pinecrest, Fl.

South Florida Classical Review: "These superb musicians combine technical near-perfection with strong musicality and distinctive interpretive instincts."
