vate citizens,
lending not only
his prestige but
his active help
to many cultural
and philanthropic
ndeavors.

New York debut and in a few sea-

handful of top violinists.
In addition to his solo activities,
together with pianist Eugene Isto-
mM and cellist Leonard Rose. he
makes up the Stern-Istomin-Rose
Trio, which in a few short years
has become one of the country's
most sought after chamber en-
sembles.
