Sabina Rakcheyeva,
24-year-old Azerbaijani violin virtuoso, spent the summer in
Switzerland performing at the Verbier Music Festival. Of the
900 musicians who auditioned last winter for the Festival, Sabina
was one of the 100 talented youth who were invited to join the
UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra, a group led by world-renowned
conductor James Levine. This October, Sabina will tour with the
orchestra to 10 European cities, including Frankfurt, Berlin,
Milan, Rome, London, Monte Carlo, Paris, Zurich, Barcelona and
Madrid.
Sabina continues her second year of study at America's most prestigious
music school, Juilliard in New York City, and will graduate in
2001 with a Master's degree in music. Again, Juilliard offered
Azerbaijan's talented violinist a scholarship completely covering
her tuition.
Great enthusiasts of Sabina's musical talent, the Italian Ambassador,
Alesandro Fallovallita, and his wife Fusun, again for the second
summer invited all of Baku's diplomatic corps to hear Sabina
perform a full-length concert in their residence this past June.
