The Gualala Arts Chamber Music Series is proud to present an exceptional musical event featuring the distinguished violist Emad Zolfaghari, winner of the prestigious Irving M. Klein International String Competition. This concert, scheduled for Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 4 pm, promises to be a showcase of virtuosity and passion. Emad Zolfaghari, a Canadian violist, has garnered international acclaim following his recent victories at the Primrose International Viola Competition and other notable contests. His remarkable journey began at the tender age of 16 when he was accepted into the Curtis Institute of Music, studying under the tutelage of Hsin-Yun Huang.
Emad’s artistry has been displayed on stages worldwide, performing as a soloist with major symphony orchestras such as l’Orchestre Métropolitain, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. His talent has also led him to participate in esteemed festivals, including the Perlman Music Program and Music from Angel Fire. Currently, Emad plays on a 1700 Matteo Goffriller viola, courtesy of the Rachel Barton Pine Foundation, and wields a Sartory Copy bow provided by CANIMEX, inc.
For those eager to witness this musical phenomenon, tickets are priced at $40 in advance, with an additional $5 on the day of the performance. They can be purchased at Gualala Arts, the Dolphin Gallery, and online at GualalaArts.org.
