It's true that violinist Leila Josefowicz was awarded a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” grant, but she hasn't let it go to her head (so far as we know).

At her San Francisco Performances recital this weekend, she'll be doing what she has always done — play an exciting array of music with insight and passion.

Brahms' full-bodied Sonatensatz and Schubert's lithe Rondo in B-Flat frame a concert that includes Shostakovich, Stravinsky, and Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür.
