Weilerstein, 41, is a daughter of Donald Weilerstein, founding first violinist of the Cleveland Quartet, and pianist Vivian Hornik Weilerstein. Her brother is conductor Joshua Weilerstein. When Weilerstein was 4 she asked for a cello and a teacher, and her parents arranged them a half-year later. The family moved from Rochester to Cleveland when she was 7 and at 13 she made her professional debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in October 1995 with Tchaikovsky’s “Variations on a Rococo Theme.” She signed with ICM Artists and started playing one week per month with regional orchestras.Payere grew up among five siblings in Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela, and played horn as a child.
Maazel invited him to conduct Beethoven’s third “Leonore” overture at his Castleton Festival in Virginia that summer.Payere met Joshua in 2007 when Weilerstein was a guest violinist on the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra’s U.S. tour, which included Dudamel’s Carnegie Hall debut. Alisa first came across Payare in February 2009 at Goteborg, Sweden, where she was auditioning for Dudamel and Payare was invited to play horn in a Bruckner Symphony No. 7.
