Margot & Friends: A Holiday Musical Celebration

Violinist Margot Zarzycka, who made her solo debut in Poland at age six and has been a core violinist with the Sarasota Orchestra since 2000, gathers chamber-scale holiday music at Art Ovation Hotel. Last year's edition paired her with pianist Michael Stuart and flutist Betsy Traba for light classical selections spanning Hanukkah and Christmas favorites. The downtown hotel, developed in collaboration with Ringling College of Art and Design, puts a musical instrument in every guest room, a fitting backdrop for a recital. Zarzycka also founded the Classical Music of Poland Concert Series in Sarasota.
