A benefit concert for the Preservation League of New York State featuring gifted young artists performing on rare, antique violins.

The evening’s performers will include: Tim Fain, playing a Francesco Gobetti violin, the “Moller” made in Venice in 1717, Randall Goosby, playing a Giovanni Paolo Maggini violin made in Brescia c. 1600 and Augustin Hadelich, playing an Antonio Stradivari violin, “Kiesewetter” made in Cremona c. 1723.
Mr. Fain, in addition to an international schedule of concerts, played violin on the soundtrack for the recent movie Twelve Years a Slave and also appeared in, and provided music for the movie Black Swan. Mr. Goosby, at only 18 years old, studied violin at Juilliard under the tutelage of Itzhak Perlman and Catherine Cho and in 2011 won the prestigious Isaac Stern Award. Mr. Hadelich, with his poetic style and dazzling technique, has in recent years confirmed his place in the top echelon of young musicians playing in the world today. They will be joined by Grammy-nominated accompanist Robert Koenig.
