Sergiu Luca, violin An early exponent of period tunings, bows, instruments and practices, Sergiu Luca is equally at home in modern and early music. His debut came as a soloist at the age of nine with the Haifa Symphony, and moved quickly into a career that has spanned the globe. His American debut came in 1965 under Leonard Bernstein with the New York Philharmonic, and he has since played with many major American orchestras, including the Cleveland, Atlanta, Detroit, St. Louis, Houston and Baltimore symphonies. Mr. Luca has a long-standing relationship with composer-performer William Bolcom, culminating in an early 1999 Carnegie Hall celebration of Mr. Bolcom featuring Mr. Luca. He is the founder of Chamber Music Northwest, the Cascade Head Festival and Da Camera in Houston. His ensemble, Context, released three CDs in early 2003, featuring the works on original instruments of Robert Schumann and Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia.
