He started playing the violin at 5. At 13, he received a scholarship to the Peabody Institute of Baltimore. At 15, he received a scholarship to the Julliard School of Music in New York. At 21, he led his own orchestra.
But his most cherished accomplishment was his invitation to be guest soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. But the dreaded disease wouldn’t leave him. The day of the performance he had a fever and could not walk. Would he make THE LAST CONCERT?

I read "The Last Concert" in a cozy café. It's a book about a violin player, and the story took me to a concert where they played for the last time. The book is beautifully written and tells the story of a musician who loved the violin.
