The family has informed us of the early death of Michaela Paetsch, an American violinist who was the first to take on the challenge of all 24 Paganini Caprices for a record label.

Michaela, who was 61, succumbed to a long struggle with cancer.

Raised in Colorado Springs, she studied with Ivan Galamian and Szymon Goldberg and was based for most of her working life in Switzerland.
