Elizabeth Pitcairn's violin has a great story behind it, which was depicted in the film The Red Violin, but it’s more than just a story. The famed Red Violin, the 1720 “Red Mendelssohn” Stradivarius, is a beautiful-sounding instrument, which comes to life in the hands of violinist Elizabeth Pitcairn.
This Saturday evening, Pitcairn will perform music by Camille Saint-Saëns and Pablo de Sarasate with the Ohio Valley Symphony in Point Pleasant. She took some time from getting ready for the concert to chat with me about her musical projects and experiences:
