If you’re watching David Simon’s Treme on HBO you may be taken as I am with the violin playing of the street musician Annie. You may not know, as I did not know, that the part is played by Lucia Micarelli, a rock-star among actual concert violinists. This is her first acting job; fortuitous it seems because she cut her left hand on a wine glass last Independence Day and severed nerves, damage from which she hasn’t fully recovered. Ms. Micarelli is 26.
Playing “Emmanuel” with Chris Botti.
Performing Led Zeppelin’s “Kasmir” with Jethro Tull.
I’d be happy with a recording of her Treme street violinist’s “Careless Love.”
She is AMAZING in concert! At least from the 4th row center. Her solo’s were among my favorite parts of the Josh Groban concert. Incredible energy!
