Field notes
The project grew from Tamar Sagiv’s encounter with Simon’s Arioso for solo cello and now involves pianist Vladimir Rumyantsev, live performances, research, and a planned recording partnership with Sono Luminus. The homepage documents appearances at the Center for Jewish History and Carnegie Hall, while also listing a November 16, 2026 Manhattan event that combines a one-hour program with conversation and fundraising.
