SummerStrings @ UNCSA: Unique Training for the Modern Player
From classical to jazz to bluegrass, SummerStrings 2018 is cross-training for the truly modern string player. Over the course of two fantastic weeks, (July 8 – 21) UNCSA’s string faculty and award-winning jazz violinist Christian Howes will bring you the best of both worlds in string playing. You'll find yourself rehearsing a Beethoven quartet in the morning and jamming on a twelve-bar blues in the afternoon!
In the first week, bring your game to a new level with UNCSA's internationally acclaimed artist-faculty, including chamber music and solo masterclasses with Europe's top violin teacher Ida Bieler, cellist Brooks Whitehouse and SummerStrings artistic director Janet Orenstein.
Then, bring your level to a new game with state of the art breakout sessions in bluegrass, jazz and extended string techniques as only Christian Howes can do them.
