Jack Glatzer was born in Dallas, Texas. He began the study of the violin at the age of five and at thirteen gave his debut recital. A year later he appeared as soloist with the Dallas Symphony under Walter Hendl. When he was seventeen Glatzer won first prize in violin in the nation's most important competition for young musicians, the Merriwether Post Competition in Washington, D.C. and subsequently performed the Brahms Concerto with the National Symphony under Howard Mitchell.

Glatzer has studied with several of the greatest teachers of the post-war period, including Leonard Posner, Joseph Fuchs, Sandor Vegh and Maxim Jacobsen; in addition to his musical studies at Yale School of Music and the Musik Akademie of Basel, Switzerland. He also gained degrees in history, summa cum laude, at Yale, and with honor, at Oxford. Glatzer regularly makes concert tours around the world and has played on every continent, in over forty countries.Glatzer's background and interest in the history of culture have led to his highly successful concerts - "son et lumiere" - in which musical performance is elucidated by a lecture and illuminated by visual images.For more information about this and other events at the Silver City Public Library, contact Lillian by replying to this message or calling 575-538-3672.
