are among the featured
composers in the program to be performed Thursday, April 5 at Crowell
Public Library in San Marino.
Violinist Paul Stein, a 36 year member

in 1985 to introduce classical music to audiences at schools and
libraries. He has moderated seminars and
lectured at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute and conventions of the Music
Teachers Association of California. He has been a featured soloist at the Hollywood Bowl
and has worked with Zubin Mehta, Carlo Maria Giulini, Andre Previn, Esa-Pekka
Salonen, as well as Gustavo Dudamel. He was principal second violinist
with the Colorado Symphony and performed with the Santa Fe Opera orchestra.
