Inspired by a true story that rocked the classical music world, concert violinist Erica Morini hires an unassuming violin-maker to restore her legendary Stradivarius. Though the aging diva proves to be a prickly client, the two develop an unexpected friendship over the priceless instrument in this imaginative new drama about the sacrifices one makes for artistry.
Seeking:
Brian Skarstad:
40s, a violin maker and restorer from Utah of Scandinavian descent
Erica:
A violin prodigy who went on to an illustrious career. But she has outlived her ability to play and must decide what to do about the exquisite Stradivarius that has been her constant companion for decades. She was born in Vienna and there is still something European about her way of speaking.
