PanARMENIAN.Net – Violinist Jack Glatzer, famous for soloing with the
Dallas Symphony at age 14, performed a concert in Taos, New Mexico,
U.S., on April 6, according to The Taos News.
His repertoire included the work of Armenian-American composer
Alan Hovhaness, whose music Glatzer describes as influenced by
Middle-Eastern elements, from the Islamic to the Jewish. Glatzer
also played Isaac Albeniz, whose folk music-inspired pieces include
Sephardic melodies, and whose “Asturias” is usually played on guitar,
although written for piano. And, Glatzer added, he could rarely resist
including the music of Italy.
Glatzer now lives in Portugal, and reckons he has played in 50
countries during his 40 years traveling the world.
