Guess who played the national anthem last night?

For years I have always joked with my friends that I want to be on stage and play the triangle and so they surprised me with it when I arrived yesterday. The whole family was here for it too!

Announced attendance at the game was 35,929 people making it what's almost certainly the largest world debut on the triangle in history 😜

In a truly remarkable & special coincidence, my dad's old Stradivari cello was part of the ensemble in the hands of close friend Ken Olsen.

To be surrounded by my closest friends and my father's cello was a dream come true - thank you so much to the Seattle Chamber Music Society for making it happen!

⚠️ 📢 🚨 Eric Gratz joins Bein & Company as Sales Associate! We're so thrilled to have Eric on the team!

Internationally celebrated violinist Eric Gratz combines a robust performing and teaching career with a passion for fine instruments and bows. He has appeared as soloist and concertmaster with over two dozen orchestras, including those of Cleveland, Louisiana, Phoenix, San Antonio, Tucson, Santa Fe Opera, and the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. Gratz performs recitals and chamber music on major stages around the world, is a Billboard-charting recording artist, and serves as Artistic Director of the American Chamber Music Society in Chicago.

He previously served for nine seasons as concertmaster of the San Antonio Symphony, where he took part in numerous world premieres, regularly play-conducted the orchestra, and frequently appeared as soloist in concerto repertoire ranging from Bach to Bartok. Deeply committed to education, he has recorded several hours of video courses for Tonebase Violin, is on faculty at Music Institute of Chicago and North Central College, and serves on the summer faculty at Interlochen as a Valade Concertmaster.

Gratz's lifelong fascination with fine instruments has been bolstered by his rich performance history on violins by Stradivari, Guadagnini, Amati, Balestrieri, Serafin, Vuillaume, and many others. He is deeply curious about the tonal and historical qualities that define exceptional stringed instruments and bows, offering a concert violinist's perspective that appeals to both performers and collectors.

The gorgeous 1727 "Iwasaki" Stradivari cello. From Chicago to Norway and now in the hands of one of today's leading cellists, Truls Mørk!

The best way to invite the Chicago Symphony's Music Director Designate, Klaus Mäkelä, over for his first visit to your shop is to let him know an extraordinary cello by Antonio Stradivari has just arrived!

Shortly after playing the cello, the "Iwasaki" made its way to Norway, where it was acquired by the Anders Sveaas Charitable Foundation. The ‘Iwasaki’ is now part of one of Europe’s most prominent collections of antique Italian string instruments - including ELEVEN Stradivaris. The cello has recently been lent to SuperStar cellist, Truls Mørk.

Just this week, Mørk made his debut with the Stradivari cello, appropriately with Klaus conducting the Oslo Philharmonic!
