Our master class for the students of the Hill Country Youth Orchestra focused on string playing skills that can be applied broadly - in solo, chamber music or orchestral situations. Generously sponsored by Dr. & Mrs. Thomas R. Hamilton
In San Antonio, our master class was open to students across the city and focused on the more specific skills needed for successful and compelling chamber music performances. This year's class also featured for the first time a fascinating workshop on keeping our string instruments in the best shape by The Texas Violin Shop. This class is generously sponsored by the Texas Violin Shop.
