FALL INT FRANKLIN POND

Open to students grades 6-12

Faculty from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Opera Orchestra

4:1 Student to Teacher ratio mier. As longtime participants of Franklin Pond Chamber Music, a year-round chamber music program for middle and high school students, the quartet has been rehearsing and coaching all school-year with Franklin Pond’s faculty from the Atlanta Symphony and Atlanta Opera orchestras. With its grand expressions typical of Sibelius’ later works and singable melodies, we have all—students, parents, and coaches--enjoyed getting to know this piece, and we are proud to introduce it to American audiences for the very first time!

Audiences can hear the Varro Quartet perform the premier of Jean Sibelius’ Piano Quartet, JS 157 on April 30th at 3pm as part of Franklin Pond Chamber Music’s Fall Into Spring Concert. The performance will take place at the Rich Auditorium on the campus of the Woodruff Arts Center. A professional recording of their performance will be posted on Franklin Pond’s YouTube channel following the performance.

Coaching, masterclasses, and multiple performance opportunities
