Peter Oundjian to Play Violin Again (Well, Just This Once)

The current music director of the Toronto Symphony spent 14 years as first violinist of the Tokyo String Quartet – until he developed focal dystonia in his left hand and had to give up his instrument. But for one concert in April 2012, Oundjian and his old teacher Itzhak Perlman will play Bach’s Double Violin Concerto with the Toronto Symphony.
