Sundays @ Four: Nathan Olson, violin, and Arkadi Serper, piano
Up-and-coming violinist and Berkeley native Nathan Olson returns home for
a joyous musical reunion with pianist Arkadi Serper in Crowden Music
Center's Sundays @ Four chamber music series!
Sundays @ Four presents internationally-respected chamber musicians in
casual and intimate concerts. Artists reveal their personal inspirations
and insights, and mingle with the audience in free receptions following
the concerts.
Crowden alum Nathan Olson is emerging as a leading new violinist in the
orchestral world after his recent graduation from Cleveland Institute of
Music's prestigious Concertmaster Academy, where he studied with Cleveland
Orchestra Concertmaster William Preucil. Born and raised in Berkeley,
California, Nathan studied with Itzhak Perlman and Crowden's founder, Anne
Crowden. He has performed as soloist with orchestras across the country,
and as Guest Concertmaster with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (Canada)
and the Tucson Symphony Orchestra (Arizona). He is currently Concertmaster
of the Canton Symphony Orchestra and the Breckenridge Music Festival
Orchestra, and performs regularly with the Cleveland Orchestra as a
substitute. A dedicated chamber musician, Nathan served on faculty at the
Innsbrook Music Festival and won the silver medal at the 2005 Fischoff
International Chamber Music Competition as a member of the Kashii String
Quartet with fellow Crowden alums Aaron Requiro and Naumburg prize-winner
David Requiro.
Russian-born composer, pianist, and educator Arkadi Serper is known for
his soulful and impassioned performances as a soloist, a collaborative
chamber musician, and as half of the two-piano team "Scorpio Duo" with
fellow Crowden faculty member Miles Graber. He has served on Crowden's
