An Evening with Rachel Barton Pine, Antonio Stradivari, and Jacob Stainer

Internationally acclaimed violinist Rachel Barton Pine will bring centuries of history to life in an unforgettable concert at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 17. The performance will be held at Aalfs Auditorium on the University of South Dakota campus in Vermillion. It will feature the National Music Museum’s 1668 Jacob Stainer and 1693 ‘Harrison’ Stradivari violins—last played publicly decades ago. The audience will also hear the 2025 Harrison Strad 2.0—a meticulous replica that will be heard publicly for the very first time. Rachel Barton Pine is one of the most celebrated violinists of her generation. She has performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, and Vienna Symphony, among many others. More information and tickets are available via the NMM website.
