János Starker, the world-renowned cellist, performing
artist and teacher of generations of musicians visited the Embassy on
April 3 to attend a reception held in his honor. Starker's assistant professor, Emilio Colón played
Gaspar Cassadó's Suite for Violoncello Solo, followed by Luigi
Boccherini's Sonata in C Major for Two Cellos, performed by Starker and
Colón. The 250-strong audience formed a massive line after the concert
to wait for their program notes signed, and many brought vinyl records
and CDs.
