Vanity Fair
Tim Fain in the October 2011 issue of Vanity Fair Magazine! “Violinist Tim Fain plays like a virtuoso and thinks like a cinematographer. His new show, Portals, is a smart mix of sound and vision for the Facebook vision who love Bjork and Beethoven with equal ardor.”-Vanity Fair

ACLU Benefit Event
Just played a benefit concert for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) out on Ellis Island, with cellist Wendy Sutter and composer and pianist Philip Glass. They opened up a top-secret (hehe!) bridge from the Jersey side, so we actually drove there. After so many years living in NY, this was as close to the Statue of Liberty as I'd ever been. It was beautiful seeing it lit up at night at such close proximity. And of course I was very happy to support the ACLU and celebrate their big 90th.
