Lev Aronson was an inspiring teacher who mentored a generation of accomplished cellists including Lynn Harrell, Ralph Kirshbaum, John Sharp, Christopher Adkins, Mitchell Maxwell and Brian Thornton. What made this teacher so exceptional? How does an individual who survives the Holocaust find a way to turn darkness into light. We’ll hear from some of his former students and learn about the life lessons they learned.

Featuring a short film on Lev Aronson featuring Brian Thornton of the Cleveland Orchestra. Mr. Thornton was one of the last students of Maestro Aronson.
