Violinist Anne Sophie Mutter on life and music

Wikimedia Commons

Violinist Anne Sophie Mutter is one of the true superstars of classical music. Since her first concerts on the world’s most prestigious stages, Mutter has inspired audiences around the globe with recitals, concerto performances and dozens of recordings.

Mutter spoke with WKAR’s Peter Whorf a few days ago about the completion of herU.S. recital tour tonight at Ann Arbor’s Hill Auditorium. They talked about everything from tonight’s program to family members and some traveling companions near and dear to Anne Sophie’s heart.

WKAR’s first live pledge drive since federal funding was eliminated is happening now. Our goal for the drive is $60,000 and reaching it will bring us one step closer to closing the federal funding gap.
