Saturday, July 18th: Surgical Oncologist and Violin Virtuoso Barry Roseman
SHOWTIMES: 7:30pm and 9:30pm. By day, he’s a respected local cancer surgeon. By night, he’s a jazz-playing violinist. And rarely do the two lives meet.
“A lot of my patients are surprised when they find out, and a lot of the people I play jazz with are surprised when they learn I’m a doctor,” Roseman has told the media. “It’s an interesting dynamic. I feel lucky that I have a job – I call it my ‘day gig’ sometimes – that allows me to do both of these things.
“I have the best of both worlds. I don’t have the pressure of having to make a living doing this music, and considering that it doesn’t pay much of anything to perform jazz, that’s a good thing.”
What it lacks in monetary reward, however, it more than makes up for artistically and spiritually. In fact, given his background, it’s hard to imagine Roseman going through life without music as a part of it in some form or fashion.
