Around Town with Marketa
Hello wonderful cultural friends!
I hope you are enjoying the beauty of spring and perhaps you were wondering where you can catch some unique musical inspiration! And here I come with an intriguing offer: a world renowned violinist Asi Matathias! And what an invite it is! You do not want to miss him as it is rare to see Asi in such an intimate venue!
Just imagine the credits of our guest: Asi, a child prodigy, had a debut with the accomplished conductor Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic orchestra when he was 14 years old.
His studies started in Israel with Chaim Taub, and he became the youngest student at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna.
Asi Matathias earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, where he was a student of Pinchas Zukerman and his teaching associate Patinka Kopec.
As an enthusiastic chamber musician and collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Yefim
Bronfman, Nikolaj Znaider, Pinchas Zukerman, Renaud Capucon, Nobuko Imai and Frans Helmerson.
You can catch him Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, Zankel Hall and Weil Recital Hall, 92nd Street Y in New York, Berlin Philharmonie, Izumy Hall in Japan, Liederhalle in Stuttgart, Bronfman Auditorium in Tel-Aviv, Harbin Opera House and The National Arts Center in Canada, and now in our own Point Loma Assembly!
Juilliard-trained pianist Matthew Graybill, also a child prodigy and a winner of many competitions, is Asi Matathias' accompanist.
To welcome Asi Matathias in our series, is only thanks to a generous, kind, loyal audience member, July Galper, who loves our series and our audience and not only recommended us to Asi, but also helped with underwriting the program. Thank you, July, our appreciation is sincere and your generosity celebrated!
And one more interesting fact: Asi plays on a rare Antonio Stradivari violin from 1695.
As always, you can enjoy homemade sweets, fine wines, the top beers and a fabulous atmosphere in a beautiful Hall!
