A Great American Music Ambassador Turns 71 Today



The virtuoso violinist, Itzhak Perlman,  is 71 years old today.  He has entertained the world with a full spectrum of music. He remains quite active with a full schedule of concerts, teaching in New York, and serving as the artistic director and principal conductor of the Westchester Philharmonic. who has entertained us for six decades, turns 70 today.He still maintains a full schedule of appearances around the world as well as teaching in New York and serving as the artistic director and principal conductor of the Westchester Philharmonic.

Rather than write about Perlman I'd rather have you listen to his genius, sensitivity, and joy doing what he does best for adoring audiences that he acknowledges are as much a joy to him as he is honored to perform for them. 















What a national treasure. Happy birthday, Maestro! May your smile and music be with us for many years to come.
