New Music Doesn’t Have to Hurt - A Conversation with Tracy Silverman

Formerly first violinist with the Turtle Island String Quartet, Silverman was named one of 100 distinguished alumni by The Juilliard School and was lauded by the BBC as "the greatest living exponent of the electric violin." He has performed as a soloist with many of the world’s finest orchestras, and is the subject of several electric violin concertos composed specifically for him by Pulitzer-winner John Adams, Terry Riley, Nico Muhly, Kenji Bunch and others, and has composed 3 electric violin concertos of his own.    Craft Brewed Music® The music discovery app that streams music for serious listeners.
