The six virtuoso string players are Xiao-Dong Wang, Ittai Shapira, Ara Gregorian, Rachael Shapiro, Zvi Plesse and Alexis Pia Gerlach. They perform a wide repertoire ranging from works by established masters to lesser-known composers. They will appear on Saturday, March 7, at Prior-Jollek Hall, on the Antilles School Campus. As solo performers, they have won major national and international music competitions and have appeared all over the world. The group will play three pieces by Strauss, Korngold and Brahms, respectively.
