Musical Performance
Sammy Weber started the violin unofficially at three years old and was accepted into the Juilliard School of Music on scholarship at age 12. He also started to play trumpet at that time. His musical tastes took him well beyond the Classics, which he originally studied, and into areas of jazz, pop, country, latin, various styles of ethnic music and all types of rock music. When he was 16 he met and played, for a short time, at the same stand of 1st violins with Itzhak Perlman. He later became concert master of that Juilliard Preparatory Division String Orchestra.
Over the years he has played for thousands of people in various venues, including a stint as the band leader on the Long Island Tonight Show, a local cable TV show in New York. He also taught strings in the New York City school system for 10 years, helping both beginning and advanced students to reach their potential. Eye surgeries have prevented him from playing with orchestras due to reading problems so he has taken to the road as soloist, and has recently been performing shows across South Florida, using his CDs as accompaniment.
