Davidson of Birmingham.
When his group is not
performing in Michigan,
members can be heard
on YouTube and on
recordings — Folia with
Baroque sonatas and vocal
works by Corelli, Handel, Vivaldi
and Colista; Night Scenes at the
Ospedale with violin concerti by
Honstein and Vivaldi; and a 2:
Virtuoso Music of the Holy Roman
Empire with pieces by Biber,
Froberger, Telemann and Bach.
The Sebastians group
started performing in 2004,
and Grossman joined in 2009.
Besides appearing in New York
and touring to various cities, the
group has a residency at the Yale
Collection of Musical Instruments.
Although there is an absence of
music this season because the
building is being renovated, the
collaboration has been for about
six seasons.
“I played Jewish music on the
piano and worked on a lot of
Jewish music,” Grossman said.

“In the Baroque music, Jewish
composers weren’t really writing
music like this. We’re hoping to
have new music written by Jewish
composers for our instruments.”
When it comes to technology,
those interests can be found in
both his efforts for performances
and free time activities.
“I do a lot of computer music
work with classical recordings and
classical scores for composers and
my own group,” Grossman said.
“Pretty much most of my activities
are musical at this point.
“I’m also a science fiction
Star Trek nerd. I’ve always liked
technology with an optimistic
view of the future. I’ve always
enjoyed the idea that there
are undiscovered things in the
universe for us to discover.”
