Music magician
Students, teachers and residents received a treat when this world-renowned violinist Jack Glatzer arrived at the Forest Grove Elementary School on a blustery Monday morning.
Glatzer was introduced by arts advocate Dennis Tupman before the violinist mesmerized all in attendance with his skill and knowledge.
Did you know that a proficient violinist can imitate animals, insects and instruments with such precision that you believe it’s the real deal? Well, that is exactly what he proved to be the case, and then went on to play various melodies by famous composers – a very rare and special treat, indeed.
