Master classes: Chamber music students will be invited to participate in this series of enriching master classes. Ensembles are selected from the Summer Program Recital and will work with artists including violinists Kelly Hall-Tompkins and Deborah Buck, cellist Matthew Zalkind, violist Phillip Stevens, and composer Bruce Adolphe. We strongly encourage all students to attend these classes.
These public lessons provide an opportunity for students to learn golden tidbits of musical information that can better inform them as a performer. As a student, being on the spot in such a vivid way can often bring familiar information or instruction into greater focus.
