Music community holds benefit concert before Utah violinist's ICE hearing

SALT LAKE CITY — Whether it’s two musicians playing at the Utah State Capitol or an entire orchestra playing a concert, the music community is doing whatever they can to help bring violinist John Shin home after he was detained by ICE several weeks ago .

“When this situation happened, it really hit home. One of my friends needs me,” said composer and performer Kurt Bestor.

Gabriel Gordon and Nicole Fullmer have been playing at the Capitol every day since his detainment and wanted to do something even bigger: a benefit concert.

Gordon then got in touch with Robert Baldwin, Shin’s former professor, and Bestor, who has been playing with Shin for almost three decades.
