Topic: NEWS performers
From birth, pianist Jonathan Biss lived in a world of music. His mother, the Romanian-born Miriam Fried, is a globe-trotting violinist who also performs and records with the Mendelssohn String Quartet. His father, violinist Paul Biss, teaches at Indiana University's prestigious School of Music in Bloomington, where Jonathan spent his childhood. Furthermore, his grandmother, the acclaimed Raya Garbousova, earned the highest praise from legendary cellist-conductor Pablo Casals, who called her the "finest cellist" he had ever heard. Samuel Barber wrote his cello concerto for her, and she performed its world premiere in 1946.
