Featured Soloist: Carol Lieberman, violin
March 3 & 5, 2006

Carol Lieberman, recognized as one of America's leading exponents of Baroque violin performance for the past 30 years, is equally acclaimed for her command of the violin repertoire from the 19th to the 21st centuries. The scope of her versatility is demonstrated by her performances of the complete Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord of J.S. Bach in cities from Lisbon to Boston. She has concertized throughout Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East, and frequently performs for radio and television, including Radio Nacional Espana, Belgian Radio, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Her recordings have received the highest critical acclaim. Stereo Review awarded her J. S. Bach Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord the "Recording of Special Merit," writing "Lieberman produces a beautifully focused, sweet sound that balances perfectly with the harpsichord". She has also recorded a world premiere album of sonatas by Simon LeDuc, an album of sonatas of C.P.E. Bach and J.C. Bach, about which Atlantic Magazine wrote: "her playing is technically flawless and rhythmically vital", and CDs of Schubert's Three Sonatinas for Violin and Fortepiano. Lieberman's recordings of contemporary music include Theodore Antoniou's Suite for Violin and Harpsichord, Walter Piston's Sonatina, Alan Hovhaness's Duo, Elliott Carter's "Riconoscenza" and Olivier Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time." Carol Lieberman has performed the violin concertos of Sibelius, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Vivaldi and Bach with the Boston Pops Orchestra, the CBC Festival Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Associazione Musicale Romana, the Belgrade Chamber Orchestra, Handel & Haydn Society, and the Masterworks Chorale, where she has also served as concertmistress since 1980. Lieberman has been a professor at the College of the Holy Cross since 1985, where she also serves as Director of the Holy Cross Chamber Players.

Ms. Lieberman plays F. Haydn's Concerto for Violin & Fortepiano in F major with Mark Kroll on March 3 & 5, 2006.
