On a plane ride I heard a beautiful piece by a violinist. According to the intro, his/her father is an astrophysicist and mother is a biologist. I missed the name of the musician. Does anyone know?
That would be Gil Shaham. His sister, Orli, is a concert pianist. I’ve seen Orli play the Lizst piano concerto; I’ve seen Gil play the Beethoven violin concerto. They are both pretty incredible. After playing this Beethoven violin concerto, Gil took his bow casually swinging his priceless Stradivarius by its scroll…
Here’s is an interview with Orli from NPR:

Thank you for the quick reply! The SDMB comes through again.
