Schwob School of Music faculty give virtuoso performances

Some say the week was all about the Packers and the Steelers. I say, at Columbus State University, the week is about Schwartz and Kobrin. These are two of our many faculty MVP's! Last night, Lauren and I had the distinct honor and privilege of attending a Schwob School of Music concert featuring these two virtuosos: Professor Schwartz, the violinist, the William B. and Sue Marie Turner Distinguished Chair in Music, and Professor Kobrin, the pianist, the L. Rexford Whiddon Distinguished Chair in Piano. An enthralled crowd at Legacy Hall heard a magnificent program including Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Strauss. Le Soleil calls Professor Schwartz one of the best violinists of his generation, and Professor Kobrin is a winner of several international piano competitions, including the Van Cliburn. The music was magical and to have these great faculty teaching our exceptional students is truly what a connected, engaged university is all about.
