Cultural Echoes – Join us for an evening of musical exploration as we journey through the folk-inspired landscapes of Scotland and America. Featuring Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”, this concert celebrates the power of music to transcend borders, showcasing how composers artfully wove foreign folk elements into their works. This matinee concert features a solo performance by violinist Dr. Lynn Ngai Gerber, the Shafer Townsend Family Chair.

Lynn Gerber is a staff anesthesiologist at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and a Clinical Instructor Affiliate at Stanford Health Care. She trained at Stanford for anesthesiology residency and for regional anesthesiology and acute pain medicine fellowship. Lynn grew up playing violin around the Bay Area, was associate concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra, and was a student of Li Lin at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the late Geoff Nuttall from the St. Lawrence String Quartet. She continues to perform with her string quartet consisting of members she has played with for 25 years, and she loves to play for her two young children as well.
