Zachary Spontak, violinist and Fairbanks Suzuki Guest Artist

Lori Neufeld

Zachary Spontak grew up in Fairbanks and now tours worldwide. This week, he returns to Fairbanks as the guest artist with the Fairbanks Suzuki Institute and a showcase recital. Hear about his passion for music and how sharing his love of the violin has translated to less fortunate communities in far-flung places like Buenos Aires and El Salvador. Spontak performs several pieces for solo violin that were absolutely breathtaking. Listen for stories and solos right here.

Lori’s love for public broadcasting runs deep. She was raised on Car Talk, Morning Edition, Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas, and later while studying wildlife biology at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, she realized that if she helped answer phones during the fund drive at KMUW, she could meet and chat with the hosts of locally produced shows.
