JANOS STARKER'S 75th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION at Summerfest La Jolla '99 |
 |
||
| For
three weeks each summer, the seaside community of La Jolla (pronounced
La Hoya) becomes a mecca for chamber music, drawing together musicians
of fame and musicians of promise in a celebration that has come to be known
as Summerfest La Jolla. In 1998 the La Jolla Chamber Music Society brought
in the husband-and-wife team of cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han
as Summerfest's new artistic directors, and with them a burst of youthful
energy that has given the festival a new spark of life. Summerfest La Jolla '99 was, like the one before it, a musically enriching and provocative experience for performers and audience members alike. But what set it apart from previous festivals was its special celebration of the 75th birthday of a living legend - JANOS STARKER, virtuoso cellist and master teacher.
