TONI AND LESHEK ZAVISTOVSKI!
Our deepest gratitude extends to the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
We had an unforgettable time at the vibrant 2014 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. Over 150,000 people attended the festivities this year, which were co-sponsored by the LA Opera, and there were books as far as the eye could see! We met scores of readers interested in classical music, history and epic nonfiction adventure stories. Take a look at some of our photos . . .
Thank you to The Chevalier, Richard Winter-Stanbridge, for an unforgettable Bookplates Special Literary Event at the Park La Brea Theater!
We hope you enjoy the 2nd episode on our CHILDREN AND FISH DON'T TALK YouTube Channel, featuring Leshek Zavistovski reading an excerpt from Chapter Two, entitled, "Run."

From the November 2013 issue: " . . . SUSAN GRAHAM hosted the launch of Children and Fish Don't Talk, a memoir by LESHEK ZAVISTOVSKI, a cellist in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra from 1966 to 2002. Zavistovski's book, which recounts his life in Europe during World War II and the Cold War as well as his work in music, was written in collaboration with his daughter, filmmaker Monique Zavistovski, and his wife, Toni Rapport Zavistovski, former violinist in the Met Orchestra (1968-2002)."
Thank you, Collected Works Bookstore, for hosting a tremendous event, and to our dear friend, mezzo-soprano Susan Graham for your beautiful introduction! The store was filled beyond capacity, with people spilling out the front door, for Leshek's reading and the Q&A.
