Film Follows the Extraordinary Life of Itzhak Perlman

Violinist Itzhak Perlman.

Violinist, conductor and music teacher Itzhak Perlman discusses "Itzhak,” the new documentary about his life, along with the film’s director Alison Chernick. The film looks at his childhood as a polio survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel, and later, as a young man who struggled to be taken seriously as a music student when schools saw only his disability. "Itzhak" will be in theaters on March 9th.

Alison Chernick and Itzhak Perlman will have a Q&A at Landmark 57 West on March 10 following the 7:15 pm, at Quad on March 11 following the 12:10 show, and again at Landmark 57 West on March 11 following the 2:15 show.
