Eric Rosenblith residencyOn May 7, CMW welcomed violinist Eric Rosenblith to Providence for a day-long residency co-sponsored by the Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University. He is a living link to the great violin traditions of the early 20th century, and counts among his teachers Jacques Thibaud, Carl Flesch, and Bronislaw Huberman. As a student in Paris in the early 1930s, he also coached chamber music with violinist-composer George Enescu. He has performed for decades as a soloist, chamber, and orchestral musician worldwide, and was chairman of the string department at New England Conservatory for over 25 years. In recent years, Eric Rosenblith has taken on the project of re-translating and re-editing Carl Flesch's monumental work The Art of Violin Playing, published by Carl Fischer.
