British violinist Tasmin Little, 53, has announced her intention to retire from performing in 2020. « After more than 30 years on the concert platform giving something approaching 2000 performances, I have, after a great deal of thought, decided to hang up my concert gowns in the summer of 2020, » she wrote in a statement distributed by her management. Little says she wants to focus more on education and on non-performing projects.
