Callisto Ensemble Concert
Monday, November 29, 2010—7:30 pm
- Beethoven: String Trio in D Major op. 9 no. 2
- Charles Ives: Piano Trio
- Arnold Bax: Sonata for Viola and Piano
- Guest: Paul Hersh, piano
Callisto's concert venue, overlooking the Art Institute of Chicago and Lake Michigan, is the acoustically engineered salon of Darnton & Hersh Fine Violins, in the Stradivari Music & Arts Center, 30 East Adams Street, Suite 1200 (12th floor). The uniquely intimate setting promotes an unusual level of interactivity between performers and audience, and allows for oral "program notes" at each concert in an informal, conversational style. The Callisto Ensemble experience is about musicians' communicating to the audience their own excitement about and passion for the works they will play. Visit website
Tickets are $20 ($8 for students with ID). Call 312-566-0429 to purchase tickets.

Repair and Restoration
Darnton & Hersh provides full services to maintain and repair your instrument, whether it's a student violin or a valuable professional asset.
Everything from basic repairs such as gluing open seams and dressing fingerboards to complex restorations is done in our shop. In many cases we can accommodate a client, by appointment, in completing minor work within a few hours while he or she is visiting the nearby Art Institute, Millennium Park, or other Loop destinations. Adjustments, which can greatly improve the sound and/or playability of an instrument, can often be done on a walk-in basis. Please contact the shop for more information.
