Standing ovation for “Omaggio a Cremona”

On May 28th and 30th, Stauffer Professors and Students played together at the Auditorium of the Violin Museum: a much-appreciated return of the traditional concert series established in 1986 on the initiative of Salvatore Accardo.

Great emotions for Franco Petracchi’s last performance, which marked his retirement from teaching after a long and extraordinary career.
