conductor. During his tenure
with the BSO there was a
wealth of solo activity and,
more than 100 occasions on
which he conducted the or-
chestra in the U.S., Canada,
Boston, Tanglewood and
abroad. He also organized the
Boston Chamber Players and
conducted the group
throughout his stay in
Boston.
Ultimately, the opportunity
emerged for Silverstein to go
to Utah as music director and
with that position, the
chance, he says . . . "Of con-
fining my activities, profes-
sionally, to that of soloist and
conductors'
proudly
Silverstein
elaborates on the history of
the Utah Symphony, noting,
"It has been in continiuous
operation for over 40 years,
performs 250 concerts a year,
and has one of the most ex-
tensive Visc-ographies' of any
orchestra in the country." Of
these recordings, Silverstein
is conductor and featured
soloist in an all-Mendelssohn
album, an all-Beethoven
album, a recording of Barber
and Schumann compositions,
and an album featuring the
Brahms Violin Concerto. In
May 1987, the Utah Sym-
phony made its 125th record-
ing, with Maestro Silverstein
performing the 'Thhaikovsky
Violin Concerto.
Silverstein has also record-
ed with the Boston Symphony
Orchestra and one such work,
Vivaldi's The Four Seasons,
won a Grammy nomination.
Currently he is also music
director of Chautauqua In-
stitute and has been a
member of the faculties at
Yale and Boston University
and at the Tanglewood Music
Center. Maestro Silverstein
holds honorary degrees from
Tufts University, Boston Col-
lege, Rhode Island Universi-
ty and the New England Con-
servatory of Music.
In the course of his associa-
tions with various symphony
orchestras, Silverstein has led
eight international tours,
playing on both sides of the
Iron Curtain, and says, in
retrospect, "The most ex-
citing trip was the tour we
took with the Utah Sym-
phony last fall (1986) because
we went to several places that
are, musically, very exciting,
such as Leipsig, the city of
Bach." On that European
tour, Silverstein conducted 18
concerts and performed violin
concertos with the orchestra
on 15 programs. Among the
countries visited were West
and East Germany, Yugo-
slavia, Austria and
Lichtenstein.
Silverstein has visited
Israel six times, performing

Silverstein studied violin with such notables as Efrem Zimbalist.

and teaching, and returned
just last month from a ten-day
stay. During this last trip he
performed as a conductor
with the Israel Chamber Or-
chestra at Mann Auditorium
in Tel Aviv, and at the same
time, gave master classes at
the Jerusalem Music Center.
Being in Israel in the midst
of the current turmoil,
Silverstein conducted a small
chamber orchestra made up
of musicians who are current-
ly doing their army service. "I
found it rather poignant to
see this bunch of very gifted
musicians come in to play
Mozart with me, wearing
their army uniforms. There
was," he goes on to say, "a
terrible contradiction in that
situation and . . . it would be
awfully nice if the bellicosity
of that conflict can at least be
reduced to the point where
the extraordinary artistic
gifts I came into contact with
. . . will have a chance to ful-
ly flower and do what they
should do in life — not carry
around Uzis, just fiddle
cases."
Silverstein's wife, the
former Adrienne Shuffro, is
also a native Detroiter. They
have been married 33 years
and have three children; their
eldest daughter, Bernice, is
married and lives in Califor-
nia. Younger daughter,
Deborah, lives in New York
and works in the concert
management field. Their son,
Marc, will graduate from
Princeton University this
year as a music major.
The Silversteins belong to
Cong. Kol Ami in Salt Lake

City. They demonstrate their
solidarity with Israel in the
form of support for Israeli
cultural and artistic
programs.
The virtuoso violinist has
been back to Detroit on
several occasions — as a
soloist, with the Boston Sym-
phony Chamber Players and
with the Boston Symphony
Orchestra. He is already
scheduled to conduct the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra
for two weeks next year.
On Sunday, Silverstein will
appear at Orchestra Hall at 7
p.m., as a soloist in recital
with the Lyric Chamber
Ensemble, in a concert
dedicated in memory of
Jascha Heifetz. Heifetz, along
with his father, inspired
Silverstein in his career. "I
think," asserts Silverstein,
"there isn't a violinist who
has lived in the 20th Century
who doesn't consider Mr.
Heifetz a mentor."
And who is his favorite com-
poser? Silverstein quickly
responds with, "It's a very
easy question to answer —
Mozart."
Silverstein is joined by his
wife on occasional trips, and
when they travel they enjoy
visiting museums, taking ad-
vantage of Mrs. Silverstein's
background in art history.
Silverstein indulges himself
in "tourist-type picture tak-
ing" and enthusiastically
declares, "I like to play tennis
and golf."
Silverstein, 55, is fulfilled
and gratified in many ways.
In Salt Lake City, he states,
"The symphony's audience
