Violinist Bill Barbini has had a decorated and full career. After Julliard he became one of the youngest violinists to join the New York Philharmonic, and had the singular experience of performing under the baton of Leonard Bernstein! Since then he has made Sacramento his home and worked as concertmaster to many an ensemble here- including the Sacramento Philharmonic, Monterey Symphony, S.F. Chamber Orchestra, and Pacific Symphony. You might now know him best for his work with the Chamber Music Society of Sacramento, an ensemble he founded upon moving here in 1987. 

In this feature we enjoy discussing memories of his life and career, and listening to some performances with the Chamber Music Society.
