A concerto for a homeless violinist
UncategorizedThe composer Dylan Fixmer was handed an unprovenanced violin while working in a music store in Boulder, Colorado.
A card inside the case enabled him to trace it to Terri Sternberg, a front-desk violinist at the San Francisco Ballet who fell on hard times, became homeless in Boulder and died in 2013, aged 61.
Fixmer has now composed a violin concerto in Terri’s memory.
