    Yesterday it was announced that she is now scheduled to play in a special concert in Tel Aviv next months in tribute to the centennial birthdays of Ivey Gitlis and Pnina Salzman , with the Israel Camerata. She will play Beethoven first concerto and Saint Saens Carnival of the Animals with Ido Bar-Shai and Annie Dutoit as narrator

    I have to say that I didn’t see the colon in the headline, and wondered what “Breaking Martha’s Back” could possibly mean. Was quite relieved to read the story.

      It’s like the old joke:
      “Let’s eat, Grandma!”
      vs.
      “Let’s eat Grandma!!”

      All kidding aside, welcome back, Maestra Martha!

  • GUEST says:

    May she play and live forever!
