Join us for "Music of Travel": various classical music from around the world with cellist Sara Sitzer and violinist Eric Pidluski.
From the music of Europe, the Americas, and beyond, join violinist Eric Pidluski and cellist Sara Sitzer for an afternoon of musical jet-setting! They will take you on a tour of music that doesn't only travel from place to place, but also from past to present.
Sara Sitzer, whose playing has been described as “rich” and “lustrous” by the Chicago Classical Review, is an active and versatile freelance cellist and entrepreneur in Chicago. A member of the Elgin Symphony, Sara also performs regularly with orchestras and ensembles including the Milwaukee Symphony and Chicago Opera Theater, among others. Ms. Sitzer is founding Artistic Director of the Gesher Music Festival in St. Louis, MO, and founding Co-Artistic Director of Chamber Music on the Fox in Elgin, IL. She spends her summers performing and teaching at the Wintergreen Summer Music Festival in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sara holds performance degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Boston University, and completed a 3-year fellowship with the New World Symphony in Miami under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas.
