December 16 - Live Music from Earthen Grave

December 16 - Live Music from Earthen Grave

It's easy to be intimidated by the sheer immensity of Rachel Barton Pine's accomplishments. The young Chicago based violinist has performed on stages all over the world in front of hundreds of thousands of people, released 13 albums, won countless prestigious awards, and played with musicians ranging from Placido Domingo to Jimmy Page. Yet throughout her career, Rachel has worked to demystify classical music and bring it to audiences for whom it has not been easily accessible. Groups as various as inner city children, sports fans, music students in developing countries, and even her fellow rock fans have been enriched by Rachel's devotion to music and the infectious enthusiasm with which she shares it. She's more than a musician – she's perhaps the greatest young ambassador that classical music has today.
