DENNIS JAMES, glass armonica: Dennis James' unique musical talents include<br />
a rare specialty - playing the glass armonica, an instrument whose hauntingly<br />
ethereal sound caused it to be dubbed "the instrument of gods.,, Linda<br />
Ronstadt was so intrigued by James and his glass armonica, she invited him to<br />
perform on her album "winter Lights." (coincidentally, the two most famous<br />
works for glass armonica were composed by Mozart. James will perform<br />
both.) In addition to being a glass "armonicist," James is internationally<br />
renowned as the leading expert and performer of music for silent films. James first played for<br />
Mainly Mozart in r998.<br />

Beethoven and Rachmaninoff piano concertos; both Brahms piano concertos; and complete<br />
Beethoven and Prokofiev piano sonatas. In 2ooo, Lill suffered what could have been career-ending<br />
injuries to both his hands when muggers slashed his hands in the course of a robbery attempt. He<br />
