Ambidextranata, The Versatile Gary Schocker

Description

Schocker, a native of Easton, Pa., has earned high praise in high places. Famed flutist James Galway once said, ‘Have you heard this kid Gary Schocker? I think he’s terrific.’ In this concert, Schocker easily lived up to his fast-growing reputation. His performance of the Telemann [Suite in A minor] was immaculate and emotionally appealing. He has a big, full-bore tone and his technique and phrasing both rest solidly on the very highest virtuosic rung." - Bill Rice. "Schocker Shines as Both Soloist, Composer." The Daily Gazette, (Schenectady, NY), January 21, 1993.
