John Sharp, Principal Cellist, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Liba Shacht, Violinist, the Lyric Opera of Chicago

Praised as "an absolutely superb cellist" by the Chicago Tribute, John Sharp is the principal cellist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and a top prizewinner of the Tchaikovsky International Cello Competition. John is a student of Maestro Lev Aronson and has served as a board member of The Aronson Cello Festival (ACF).

Upon the recommendation of Isaac Stern, violinist Liba Shacht made her New York City debut to glowing reviews: "Miss Shacht delights in her nimble technique, and virtuosic display pieces...present few obstacles," according to The New York Times.

John and Liba met playing chamber music at the Marlboro Music Festival and married in 1987. They perform frequently as a duo and in collaboration with other musicians.

This concert includes a special film about John Sharp directed by Emmy Award winning storyteller Ty Kim, filmed in 2019 before the pandemic. Mr. Kim serves as Emeritus Board Chair and Chief Operating Officer of ACF. He has called this one of his favorite films because of the friendship forged with John and Liba over the project.
