COLBURN CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC STUDENT GAINS INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION

LOS ANGELES, May 2007 - At just 22 years old, critically acclaimed violinist Lindsay Deutsch is poised to make a big splash on the classical music scene.  This Colburn Conservatory of Music student appears as the featured young artist in the April edition of 'theStrad' magazine, a world-renowned publication in the string industry.  

Lindsay Deutsch recently recorded the violin solo soundtrack for the movie 'The Good Shepherd' starring Robert Di Nero.  In addition, Deutsch has just signed a one-year artist endorsement deal where she appears in national advertisements in both 'theStrad' and 'Strings' Magazine.   Deutsch is the subject of the April 'Launch Pad' article in 'theStrad' magazine, focusing on promising young players.   All of this national attention is helping her to promote classical music, especially to children.  Deutsch also runs a classical music website for children which attracts around 70,000 hits per month.

"Los Angeles is full of artistic opportunities if you fight for them," states Deutsch.  Being a former World Junior Olympic Racquetball Champion, Deutsch uses the same tenacity that she exhibited on the racquetball court to promote the classical genre.  For Deutsch, it’s all about attracting more people to classical music. "You’re always hearing about half-empty music halls," she says. "So, with my solo orchestral engagements and recitals, I might play Beethoven or Brahms, but I'll add music that the general audience will immediately respond to, be that jazz, movie tunes or Spanish music."
