Matt Haimovitz performed a benefit concert for Greenwood Music Camp at HouseRed on May 23, 2008 in Forest Park, IL.

One of these conversations led Matt to pick up his cello and play a bit of solo Bach for us; perfectly in tune, beautifully phrased, and all this in spite of his standing position. [ More Detail ]
