’Mary Portman’ receives a grand homecoming in Cremona, Italy! The city where all of the best violins on earth were born nearly 300 years ago welcomes this exquisite masterpiece by Guarneri Del Gesu back home. This outstanding violin being used by Yi-Jia Susanne Hou is the ex Mary Portman, Fritz Kreisler Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù, Cremona, c. 1735 on extended loan from Clement and Karen Arrison through the generous efforts of The Stradivari Society of Chicago. The Stradivari Society is a unique organization that supports the very highest level of string playing by assisting patrons who own the most precious antique Italian instruments and choose to make them available to artists of exceptional talent and ability.
