Memorial Concert for Marc Johnson - Nov. 16

There is Memorial Concert honoring cellist Marc Johnson on Sunday, November 16 at 6pm at St. James Cathedral in Chicago. Marc toured and recorded for over thirty years as a member of the world-renowned Vermeer Quartet, and was a beloved figure in the Chicago music community.  Every cellist in our program is a "grand-student" of Marc's, as both Sally Gross and Alex Revoal studied with him at NIU. Sally and Alex will both be performing on the program alongside several other area cellists, including some from the CSO, and there will also be a performance by the Kontras Quartet. http://www.kontrasquartet.com/ asdfdasddfa

I am indebted to Marc for a number of reasons.  Not only did he made me a better thinker and practicer, but he truly believed in me.  He encouraged me to explore the Suzuki method as a career path, and guided me as a young teacher.   I am very grateful for his mentorship, and miss him greatly.    ~ Sally
