JOHN SHARP AND LIBA SHACHT FEATURING A SHORT FILM BY TY KIM, DEDICATED TO THE CHILDREN OF CLEVELAND
John Sharp, Principal Cellist, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Liba Shacht, Violinist, the Lyric Opera of Chicago
Praised as "an absolutely superb cellist" by the Chicago Tribute, John Sharp is the principal cellist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and a top prizewinner of the Tchaikovsky International Cello Competition.
Upon the recommendation of Isaac Stern, violinist Liba Shacht made her New York City debut to glowing reviews: "Miss Shacht delights in her nimble technique, and virtuosic display pieces...present few obstacles," according to The New York Times.
John and Liba met playing chamber music at the Marlboro Music Festival and married in 1987. They perform frequently as a duo and in collaboration with other musicians.
