Description:
In her powerful Foreword to the music, violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins has written: "There are great works which give voice to important moments for generations, and this is one of them." The tragedy of Elijah McClain's murder has moved us all, and for many musicians the image of this gentle young man playing his violin for kittens at an animal shelter has added a poignant extra layer. Zwilich was a professional violinist before turning exclusively to composing, and A LITTLE VIOLIN MUSIC is a memorial from the heart of one violinist to another.
