Violinist Julian Rhee | TAKING NOTE

When his love for the violin formed between high school and college, Julian Rhee continued to be inspired by his teachers and his family. Playing on a 1699 Stradivarius on loan from the Mary B. Galvin Foundation and the efforts of the Stradivari Society, Rhee performs a sonata for violin and piano by Saint-Saëns that he feels shows off the full range of the violin. 0:00 Getting the call... 0:59 A family affair 3:02 "Lady Tennant" Stradivarius 4:33 Celebrating through Saint-Saëns 6:10 What's next? 7:02 Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Minor TAKING NOTE is a new digital series spotlighting rising instrumentalists who have received Career Grant Awards from the Avery Fisher Artist Program.
