Gil Shaham gets a Strad
mainThe US-Israeli violinist Gil Shaham has been given the long-term loan of a 1719 Stradivarius by Rare Violins In Consortium.
Shaham, 49, says: ‘I am very grateful to the anonymous benefactor and Rare Violins In Consortium for the use of this Stradivari violin … playing this remarkable violin is life-changing for people like myself. Imagine being given a new voice … imagine finding you can say things differently and even say different things … hats off to this organization and its supporters for improving musicians’ lives.’
