A high school friend of mine, Emil Chudnovsky, has gone on to have an impressive musical career and now lives in D.C. He's performed at Makepeace Manor and hopefully will again. This Sunday he's playing what promises to be a terrific show at a church in Chevy Chase. I know classical violin is not everyone's thing -- but if you like it, Emil's as good as it gets. And a super classy guy as well. Following is the information that he sent me along with encouragement that I share it with this list.

I'm
writing to invite you to a very special recital I'm playing on
Valentine's Day. The occasion is the rebirth of the Soundings
Concert Series at the Chevy Chase United Methodist Church. The
series has had a storied tradition in the Northwest DC and Montgomery County
area for decades and now, after an unfortunate hiatus, is back under new
Director of Music Anthony Blake Clark, with an impeccably chosen line-up for the
2016 concert season, inaugurated by yours truly.

I'll
be playing with
my fantastic pianist-collaborator, Hui-Chuan Chen, and the program will feature
works thematically linked to Valentine's Day, ranging from the titanic Strauss
Sonata to the rarely-if-ever heard charming miniatures. These include Liszt's
"Epithalama" ("Wedding Song"), Suk's "Song of Love", Elgar's "Salut d'Amour" and
several others, all of which I group under the rubric "Several Highly Suggestive
Pieces". I'll refrain from my usual description of the individual works as, for
this recital, I may very well be persuaded to throw an extra showpiece or
two into the mix, everyone's interest and energy - including mine! -
permitting.
