Violinist Mark Kashper has been a huge part of our LAJS story since the orchestra’s inception in spring of 1994. In addition to his role as Concertmaster, Mark has also been a frequent featured soloist, performing throughout Southern California and touring with the LAJS in New York and Israel, and on all three of our professional recording albums. We couldn’t be more grateful for Mark’s years of dedicated work with the Symphony and are proud to announce his formal title as LAJS Founding Concertmaster!
