"The Red Violin" comes to London -

The historic violin was crafted in 1720 by Antonio Stradivari, who lovingly made his instruments in his small shop in Cremona, Italy centuries ago, and remains the most famous violin maker of all time. Not long after its creation, the instrument appeared to vanish from the radar screen; no one knows where or to whom the violin belonged for more than 200 years, spawning any number of historians, writers, journalists, critics as well as Canadian filmmaker, Francois Girard, to speculate on the violin's mysterious history. Girard's imaginative speculations became the narrative for his beloved film, "The Red Violin."

Elizabeth Pitcairn:
Celebrated American violin virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn has earned a stunning reputation as one of America’s most beloved soloists. Ms. Pitcairn made her New York debut at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in 2000 with the New York String Orchestra and she appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Academy of Music. She has recently been named the Artistic Director of the Luzerne Chamber Music Festival. She is a member of the distinguished faculty at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles, where she currently resides. Her upcoming concert schedule and recordings are featured on redviolin.net.

Louise Thomas:
Pianist Louise Thomas is Director of Keyboard Collaborative Arts at Chapman University in California. A native of Ireland, Louise Thomas has performed extensively throughout Europe, North America and Asia. After completing undergraduate music studies at Trinity College Dublin, Louise Thomas was offered a German Government scholarship to study piano performance at the Hochschule in Hannover, Germany. An engaged collaborative pianist, Dr. Thomas has made CD recordings in Germany, at the Banff Center for the Arts in Canada as well as appearing on numerous radio broadcasts. Her recordings are available at iTunes.com. Louise Thomas has been invited onto the faculty of summer programs in Tuscany, Italy and in California. In 2011, she joined the faculty at the Luzerne International Music Center summer program in upstate New York.
