Minister Louis Farrakhan rehearses for his 13 February 2002 performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto in D Major at the Cerritos Centre for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles, California. Conducting the orchestral ensemble was Maestro David Warble (Principal Guest Conductor for the Long Island Philharmonic, conductor emeritus of the Disney-Grammy Symphony Orchestra, Founding Music Director of the California Wind Orchestra, Music Director of the Orange County Symphony, and conductor for Broadway star, Betty Buckley). In June of 2001, Mr. Warble conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in a recording session of Johan de Meija Symphony No. 1, "The Lord of the Rings," at the famed Abbey Road studios in London. Farrakhan was coached for the performance by Ayke Agus ~ the constant companion, personal and class accompanist and advisor to the most celebrated violinist of the 20th century (and one of Farrakhan’s artistic heroes), Jascha Heifetz.
In May of 1993, Louis Farrakhan staged a recital of the Violin Concerto by composer Felix Mendelssohn in one of the most politically-resonant displays in classical music history. In a performance marking the most dramatic confluence of art and politics since Richard Wagner penned his notorious tract, 'Das Judenthum in der Music', Farrakhan instantly established himself as the single most transformative classical musician in American history. For the 18 months leading up to his performance, Farrakhan was coached by Elaine Skorodin Fohrman, a Jewish violin virtuoso and member of Chicago's Roosevelt University where she taught classical violin. Farrakhan's first rendition of the violin concerto occurred as part of a three-day symposium, 'Gateways: Classical Music and the Black Musician' , at the Reynold's Auditorium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on 18 April 1993. Shortly thereafter, Farrakhan reprised his violin concerto before a Chicago audience of 3000 on May 17 on his eighteenth-century Guadagnini violin.
