To a Soldier: A Great Life Lost Musicians of Ma’alwyck honors the life of violinist David Hochstein, a great concert artist, who was the nephew of Emma Goldman, and discovered by George Eastman. Hochstein volunteered to serve in the front lines in France and was killed in October 1918. His death reverberated around the musical world and inspired fellow violinist Samuel Gardner (1918 winner of Pulitzer Prize in Music) to compose a profoundly moving piano quintet depicting Hochstein’s life. Musicians of Ma’alwyck presents this quintet, paired with music of Hochstein and Fritz Kreisler. The program opens with the silent film Under Four Flags shown with a newly created score by composer Max Caplan. The performance also features readings from WW1 letters by Pastor William Levering and Norman Thibodeau. Special guest artists include violinist Theodore Arm and pianist Max Caplan. Free admission with donations accepted.
