Eight Gigs: Itzhak Perlman

Violinist Itzhak Perlman is back again to grace area residents with his elegant interpretations of both popular and lesser-known pieces. On this special night, he’ll be playing works by Beethoven, Schumann, Stravinsky and Vivaldi to name but a few. He will be accompanied by Sri Lankan pianist Rohan Da Silva, who has performed live with Perlman previously to great effect. Although bound by crutches or his mobile scooter—Perlman contracted polio at a young age—he remains very much an active, dynamic performer, and the contemporary classical fan would be remiss to sit this one out. 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, www.itzhakperlman.com.
