	CONCERT PROGRAM CONCERT FLYER PRESS RELEASE



	KDFC Radio featured Stephen Waarts and the SVS on the home page of their website under KDFC Highlights . Click here to goto a great 2-minute audio spot “KDFC State of the Art” created by Jeffrey Freymann-Weyr including an interview with Maestro Michael Paul Gibson being broadcast on KDFC.

Come to see and hear just how much you thrill to the virtuosity of 15-year-old violin prodigy, Stephen Waarts! Stephen, now attending the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia studying with the renowned Aaron Rosand, returns to the SVS in his 5th appearance playing the romantic Sibelius Violin Concerto. Stephen will be playing on a famous Stradivarius violin (see below). In his previous 4 appearances, Stephen played the Tchaikovsky (age 12), Brahms (age 13), and Mendelssohn (age 14), and Saint-Saëns (age 15) violin concertos. You can hear and see his previous performances on YouTube on our website.

Stephen will be playing a famous Stradivarius violin. This magnificent instrument is known as the twin to the Lord Wilmottte Strad, once owned and played by Yehudi Menuhin.
