Subj: [kl] Shifrin performance
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2000 13:27:35 -0500

This is a reminder of a note Jim Gholson at the University of Memphis sent
a couple weeks ago.

David Shifrin is playing the Mozart Concerto tonight and Saturday night
with the Memphis Symphony at 8:00 in the Eudora Baptist Church (corner of
Popular and Perkins), and again Sunday afternoon at the Germantown
Performing Arts Center, at 2:00(?). He will be presenting a masterclass at
the Univ of Memphis Music Department at 11:00 on Saturday.

This is a long way to say, I drove down and heard the dress rehearsal last
night... My, he played so beautifully. I sat there realizing, again, the
elusive combination of tremendous raw talent and personal sacrifice
(practice) it takes to perform with that depth of musicality and techinical
ease.

Come and enjoy.

Dave
