nathan meltzer, violin

"There are rare, perfect moments in chamber music where minds meld and hearts coalesce in beautiful synergy. Violinist Nathan Meltzer [...] attended to every contour of the music with care, crafting a long-form melodic idea that flowed effortlessly from phrase to phrase and movement to movement. It was a privilege to witness."
