MEET THE FACULTY & GUEST ARTISTS

Ben Sayevich • Violin (Weeks 1, 2, 4 & 5) Lithuanian-Israeli violinist Ben Sayevich began his studies at the Churlonis School for the performing Arts in Vilnius. He has performed extensively throughout North America and Europe and has appeared on radio and television as a soloist and chamber musician. His teachers have included Felix Andrievsky, Dorothy Delay and Eric Rosenblith. He is a recipient of the prestigious artist diploma from the New England Conservatory and was the teaching assistant to Eric Rosenblith.

One of the most important works in his repertory is the Violin Concerto by Alban Berg for which he was chosen to play at the New England Conservatory’s celebration of the composer’s centenary. Sayevich’s interpretation carries the tradition that comes down directly from the composer, through his work on the piece with the late Louis Krasner, the commissioner, dedicatee and the violinist at the work’s premiere.
