On June 11 a concert by David Felberg and Judith Gordon will celebrate twenty years of community service by the award-winning non-profit Institute for Tolerance Studies in Santa Fe, known for its programs the Santa Fe Distinguished Lecture Series and the Jewish Learning Channel along with other activities. The concert will feature the superb duo of David Felberg on violin and Judith Gordon on piano performing Jewish composers at the Waxman-Muñoz Gallery of the CCA on Old Pecos Trail. Felberg, founder and artistic director of Chatter, performs regularly throughout the Southwest as a concerto soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and conductor. He is praised by The Santa Fe New Mexican for his “fluid phrases, rich focused tone, rhythmic precision, and spot-on intonation”. David is concertmaster of the Santa Fe Symphony and has been a soloist with that orchestra as well as with the New Mexico Philharmonic, New Mexico Symphony, and the Palo Alto Philharmonic, among others. David plays an 1829 J.B. Vuillaume violin with an 1830 Fonclause violin bow. 
Pianist Judith Gordon explores diverse repertoire as both a soloist and in collaboration with a wide range of instrumentalists and singers. Heard often at festivals and on series including Apple Hill, Charlottesville, Music Mountain, Santa Fe, Spoleto, Tanglewood, Music from Salem, and Chatter, she has also performed with the Boston Pops, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and was a member of the percussion-based ensemble Essential Music. A Boston Globe 'Musician of the Year’, Gordon was an associate professor of music at Smith College from 2006-20 and is now based in Albuquerque.
