Elizabeth Pitcairn Biography:

Violin virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn has earned a stunning reputation as one of America’s most beloved soloists. She appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Academy of Music and in the year 2000 gave her New York debut at Alice Tully Hall with the New York String Orchestra. She has since performed at Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Fisher Center and the Kimmel Center. Passionate about youth and education, she serves as President and Artistic Director of the Luzerne Music Center which provides training for gifted young musicians ages 9 to 18 in upstate New York. Ms. Pitcairn attended the Marlboro Music Festival and is a graduate of the University of Southern California. The artist performs with one of the world’s most legendary instruments, the Red Mendelssohn Stradivarius of 1720, said to have inspired the Academy Award–winning film The Red Violin. Pitcairn believes strongly in philanthropy and is a frequent performer for such charitable events as the American Cancer Society, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Helping Hands and Hearts Foundation and the Nakashima Foundation for Peace.

Dr. Timothy Lepore - beloved Nantucket physician, friend, and community-builder - is a major figure shaping Nantucket life and history.   The Nantucket Doctor Movie chronicles his life and work on this beautiful, culturally diverse island and showcases Nantucket’s creative people, resources, and unique community.

 

The film is in development and the community is invited to take part in a dialogue with the filmmakers as they continue their work on the movie and raise funds for continued production. A short reel of work so far will be shown.
