Be sure to tune in to the 40+ livestreamed concerts the summer.throughout

It takes a perfectly orchestrated effort to balance the schedules, logistics, and operations of the 200+ members of our Heifetz summer community. For our students especially, this is an opportunity that they anticipate (and for which their families budget) all year long. And so, while we cannot control every variable during such a dynamic program, we intend to take every precaution available to mitigate the risks associated with the ongoing pandemic. For a student to miss one week of their time here in order to isolate should they get sick is not only a huge disappointment for them, it presents myriad logistical challenges, from ensuring their comfort and safety to reorganizing their chamber group activities and performances. The wellbeing of our community informs every decision we make, and so we thank our students for going above and beyond in accepting these safety measures, and appreciate you doing the same in order to ensure we can all enjoy a healthy and harmonious season together.

Under the guidance of our medical partners, and in order to provide the safest experience possible for patrons and staff, the Heifetz Institute will require audiences to provide proof of full vaccination, paired with a valid photo ID, to attend concerts. If you are unable to be vaccinated due to a sincerely held religious belief, a medical condition, or because you are under age 5—we will accept proof of a negative NAAT or PCR COVID test (taken no more than 72 hours prior to your attendance), paired with a

HEIFETZ INTERNATIONAL MUSIC INSTITUTE | 2022 SUMMER SEASON 5

Greetings and Welcome to the Heifetz Institute 2022!

As you read through this program book, you are peering into a living legacy that is created and shared at the Heifetz Institute each summer. Twenty-six years ago, Daniel Heifetz founded an institute based upon a generosity of spirit and artistic mastery that aimed not only to give young artists the most expert guidance on their instruments, but also to communicate the magic of music when shared together in this concert setting.

Our legendary Instrumental faculty brings a wealth of experience in making such music that carries us away, and that knowledge and craft is passed on to the young artists through lessons and coachings. The incredible Performance & Communication Training faculty assembled by Daniel Pettrow widens the scope of what these young artists discover within themselves through acting, speaking, movement, yoga, and more. We all together guide them to feel how much is possible, how much they have to give, and how they are encouraged to rise to their most spectacular self. When they take these cues and fly, fly, fly with that possibility, the results are truly breathtaking! How lucky we are to have the opportunity to take all of this in.

Nicholas Kitchen Artistic Director

My hope is that these words could convey at a distance what all this signifies, but I know that here and now there is no distance at all! As you hold this book and open your ears to what unfolds in every concert this season, it is as if you have spread a sail that is about to catch the fabulous winds of every one of these efforts. We will ride this wind together through the summer, and I am already happy to think where it may take us!

6 HEIFETZ INTERNATIONAL MUSIC INSTITUTE | 2022 SUMMER SEASON

Thank you for coming tonight, and for your support of the Institute and its students, faculty and staff. We’re so happy to have you as part of the Heifetz community.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Heifetz International Music Institute, it is my pleasure to welcome all of you to our 2022 season. For the past two summers, the Institute has pioneered groundbreaking programs born of necessity—an “all virtual” summer in 2020, and a “hybrid program” in 2021, with senior students splitting their summer between on-site activities in Staunton and online instruction. But this summer, the Institute is back in Staunton in full force, with a complete complement of world-class faculty and exceptionally talented students from around the world. We are thrilled that you can be part of this triumphal return.

Dear Friends,

I sincerely hope you enjoy tonight’s concert and will sample as many offerings as you can from our Festival of Concerts, 2022 edition—a schedule of events to rival or surpass anything we have ever done. You will have the opportunity to experience the world-renowned artistry of our virtuosic Heifetz Institute faculty, breathtaking performances by Heifetz students, and repertoire ranging from classics to new discoveries, including the inevitable surprises of a Saturday night Heifetz Hootenanny. And don’t miss the new series of Junior Division Showcases we are instituting on Saturday afternoons this year, where you will be dazzled by the artistry of promising talents as young as 9 years old.

While the past two years have been challenging in many ways, the Institute has continued to develop and grow as an organization, and we have incorporated many new learnings into our programs. We have expanded our commitment to and initiatives around diversity, equity and inclusion; we have further refined our unique communications curriculum; and, through the generosity of many supporters like you, and the steadfast support of our Board, we have enhanced the Institute’s scholarship funding, enabling us to attract and admit the highest quality students regardless of financial need.

Bruce E. Chairman,RosenblumBoardof Directors

Heifetz International Music Institute

I would like to especially thank our capable and professional leadership team: President & CEO Benjamin Roe; Artistic Director Nicholas Kitchen; Director of Programming and Operations Claudia Encinas; Development and Marketing Manager Andrew Green; and Accounts and Logistics Manager Cameron Daly. They have sustained the Institute through trying times and are poised to take it to an even more glorious future.

Dear Heifetz audience members,

The Institute has done a remarkable job of keeping us connected through difficult times. Yet, nothing is more exciting than a full season of wonderful music played by gifted Heifetz students and faculty. We in the larger audience are fortunate to again be an integral part of this extraordinary venture.

Thank you for continuing your support and your appreciation of all the Institute has to offer.

8 HEIFETZ INTERNATIONAL MUSIC INSTITUTE | 2022 SUMMER SEASON

This is a milestone year as Mary Baldwin University and the Heifetz International Music Institute celebrate a decade of partnership. In the summer of 2012, Mary Baldwin welcomed Heifetz to Staunton and our campus. That first summer was very special, as our campus transformed into a vibrant hub of performances, studios, communication training, and Thesecommunity engagement.ensuingtenyearshave brought transformational evolution both to Mary Baldwin and to the Heifetz Institute. Mary Baldwin celebrated 175 years and became a university, opened a new campus for the Murphy Deming College of Health Sciences, became fully coeducational, expanded other new programs, garnered record enrollment, and exceeded fundraising goals. Heifetz International Music Institute has undergone a similar evolution in programmatic expansion, enrollment, fundraising and support. We have been partners in these parallel developments.

Together, we join in our commitment to this community of Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County as our national reputation as a region of educational, cultural, and artistic prominence rises. We are grateful for this transformational partnership and look forward to our next decade together. R. Fox President and Professor of Music Mary Baldwin University

In spite of the Covid health care epidemic, Heifetz did not close its doors but rather converted its formatting to provide an online program in 2020 and a hybrid program in 2021 to include both in-person and online participation.

Dear Participants, Teachers and Friends,

It is my hope that you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to connect with your peers, learn from dedicated educators and to perfect your musical abilities. Virginia is a special place and we are thrilled that you are here!

A SHORT HISTORY

The Institute is founded by violinist Daniel Heifetz. During the first year, 20 students attend the two-week summer program held at Glenelg Country School in Howard County, Maryland. Instruction is limited solely to the violin.

The mission of the Institute is to develop the expressive potential of every performer through the innovative and crossdisciplinary Heifetz Performance & Communication Training. This method guides young musicians into becoming wellrounded, communicative artists by improving their technical agility and musicianship, self confidence, gestural and verbal communication skills,and leadership capacity both on and off stage. The Institute’s teaching philosophy is that artists express their individuality not only through technically and intellectually robust music making, but also through emotional and even physical engagement with the music they play.

After a one-year ‘pandemic pause,’ HeifetzPEG for younger students resumes in the online realm, bringing the total number of summer program students to 157. Also in response to the ongoing pandemic, the Institute created the Heifetz Ensemble in Residence [HEIR] program, which forms the backbone of its new HeartStrings initiative with Augusta Health. The Heifetz YouTube Channel exceeds 10 million views.

The Institute continues to grow and is invited to move to Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. In its first year at Brewster, a record 50 students attend the six-week program.

CELEBRITY SERIES & HEIFETZ HAPPY HOUR

We are thrilled to welcome Adolphus Hailstork, emeritus professor at Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University, and often referred to as “The Dean of African-American Composers,” as the Heifetz Institute’s very first Composer-In-Residence (see bio on page 39). Hailstork describes his style as ‘cultural hybridity,’ borrowing both from European and Black American traditions. In that spirit, our program both celebrates Hailstork and honors that ‘hybridity’ with music born on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as his own String Quartet No. 2, “Variations on Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.”

JULY 1: Voilà Viola!

Dating from the 1600s, La Folia, translated as “folly,”or “madness,” is one of the most durable and downright maddening tunes in all of Western music. More than 150 composers have written variations on the tune, none more brilliantly than Antonio Vivaldi. Violinist Ilya Kaler follows with a pair of works from the pen of Fritz Kreisler, the second of which is the Viennese composer’s final composition. Felix Mendelssohn’s final published chamber work—his magnificent String Quintet, Op. 87, concludes the program, which also features a rare performance of a captivating Piano Trio by Armenian composer Arno Babadjanian.

burnish and share their artistry with audiences that were starved for cultural programming. The program consists of a rotating group of top Heifetz alumni who live and work in our home city of Staunton, VA for a 6–12 week period with all living expenses and professional stipends provided for the duration. Each ensemble receives intensive rehearsal, performance, and production schedules, containing a mixture of public, private, educational, and outreach activities, both virtual—thanks to the Institute’s leadership in multimedia production—and, where safe and appropriate, in-person within our local community.

hile the six-week summer institute is at the core of the organization’s programming, year-round activities have traditionally been carried out through the Heifetz on Tour program, designed to offer real-world performance and outreach opportunities for promising young alumni. Historically, Heifetz touring programs span not only the Institute’s home region in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, but range from Maine to Florida, working with partner institutions to feature small cohorts of outstanding Heifetz alumni on weeklong engagements to perform and educate in a variety of venues, including schools in underserved communities, assisted living facilities, major museums and concert halls, and in-studio broadcast appearances.

With touring activities on “pandemic pause” throughout 2021–2022, the Institute launched the first ever Heifetz Ensemble in Residence, or HEIR, program in 2021, enabling our emerging professional alumni to

The artists work under the direct supervision of Artistic Director Nicholas Kitchen—who has a keen understanding of using technology to enhance artistry—exploring chamber masterworks and less familiar works with a focus on underrepresented composers. Artists are also mentored in career management by President & CEO Benjamin K Roe.

32 HEIFETZ INTERNATIONAL MUSIC INSTITUTE | 2022 SUMMER SEASON THE HEIR PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED BY:

For the young artists selected to participate, this program provides the opportunity to continue to learn, collaborate, and serve as leaders themselves under the unique auspices of the Heifetz Institute’s renowned training methods. Diversity is prioritized within the selection process, and a wide-ranging repertoire drawing on cultures outside of the norm for conservatories and traditional concert series is developed, paving the way for this next generation of master musicians to not only carry on the legacies and learnings of Western musical masterworks, but also to bend and shape it in a way that better reflects the world in which we live.

HEIR Participants

Central to the program is the partnership with Augusta Health through the HeartStrings initiative, in which our musicians offer one-on-one concerts via video livestream to the facility’s patient and resident populations, and provide inspiration and a sense of community to those who in many cases have been isolated from human interaction for weeks or even months. In 2021, our HEIR musicians presented 196 of these intimate performances totalling 67 hours during our inaugural session. Public performances in the hospital’s main atrium and at vaccination sites resumed as well as restrictions eased. As our lead partner Dr. Clint Merritt, Chief Clinical Officer for Population Health at Augusta Health, notes, “The emotional impacts of social distancing and COVID illnesses are much larger than we could have imagined. The Heifetz Institute is offering a wonderful community service at the perfect time.”

PERFORMANCE & COMMUNICATION TRAINING

Heifetz Performance and Communication Training is designed to provide a comfortable and safe environment for students to explore their emotional range, to overcome personal inhibitions, and to be willing to take risks as they develop their own expressiveness and interpretive style as connected to the music they perform.

04. IMPROVE ONE’S PHYSICAL FREEDOM AND HEALTH

Students are guided through multidisciplinary courses and led to connect the experiences back to their musical pursuits with the following overarching goals:

The Heifetz Performance and Communication Training method was developed to guide musicians to discover their full creative potential and express their individuality not only through technically and intellectually robust music making, but also through emotional and even physical engagement with the music they play. It strives to empower young performers to perfect their artistry by developing their physical, mental, and emotional range, and also provides a great opportunity to forge powerful interactions with fellow Heifetz students.

Becoming aware of one’s personality traits and understanding various human emotions is essential in conveying a convincing and authentic performance. The goal of the Heifetz Performance and Communication Training method is to support students as they access their own store of emotions and unique personality characteristics.

One of the underlying bases for performing at one’s best is to have the necessary bodily strength, agility, and flexibility to do so. These traits enable the performer to have the freedom to demonstrate technical prowess, emotional resonance, and engagement with the audience. Physical fitness should become a regular component of every performer’s life. It is the aim of the Heifetz Institute to provide each student with the skills to develop a physical fitness regimen that meets individual needs and provides a sense of well-being.

01. KNOW ONESELF

04. EXPRESS ONESELF

Once there is a clearer understanding of their individual personality and emotional range, students then explore how their physical and mental life work together to create an authentic and expressive performance. An essential element toward achieving these goals is gaining an awareness of the connection between musical training and emotional expression. Heifetz Performance and Communication Training is designed to support students as they balance and integrate all these features, deepening their connection to the music and to the audience.

In her administrative capacity with the Harlem Quartet, Ms. White has successfully procured funding for numerous projects, including James Madison University’s Cultural Connections Residency and the prestigious 2016 Chamber Music America/Guarneri String Quartet Residency Grant, which allowed the Harlem Quartet to partake in an extended residency in Mobile, Alabama, that included a close partnership with the Mobile Symphony Orchestra and area schools.

Hailed by The Washington Post as “a drop-dead beauty who plays with equal parts passion, sensuality, brains and humor,” violinist Elena Urioste was recently selected as a BBC New Generation Artist and has been featured on the cover of Symphony magazine. Ms.Urioste has given acclaimed performances with major orchestras throughout the United States, including the Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras; Boston Pops; New York and Buffalo Philharmonics; and the Chicago, San Francisco, National, Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Austin, Charleston, Richmond, and San Antonio Symphony Orchestras.

While the Heifetz Institute is invariably the first choice of our exceptional students, far too often we lose some of the most brilliant young talents to other festivals blessed with rich endowments amassed over many decades. That’s why we have allocated nearly $300,000 in scholarship support and tuition assistance to students of the 2022 Institute. Of the 164 students joining us this summer, approximately 17% will receive full scholarships and approximately 65% will receive some level of tuition assistance. To best serve our students and bring more transparency to our policies, we have expanded and diversified our financial assistance to include:

William & Patricia Anthony

This initiative began in 2019 to enable teams of friends and family to pool their resources in order to sponsor and provide a scholarship for a deserving Heifetz student. Each team personally sponsors a gifted student and helps to provide them the opportunity to attend the Institute and help to fulfill our mission of training exceptional young musicians to become well-rounded communicative artists. Each team commits to raising a minimum of a half-scholarship ($3,340) and up to a full scholarship ($6,680). Exclusive Scholarship Team benefits include personal time with their Sponsor Student, attendance at master classes, and a potluck dinner for the entire team at which their Sponsor Student performs an intimate and engaging house concert.

Back-of-the-book thoughts from the President & CEO

Each one of the 394 entries (a new Heifetz record!) below are more than names; they are stories that illuminate the varied and downright inspiring reasons that have moved so many to support the Heifetz Institute. With each name I see a face, a place, a moment, and a motivation.

And you will know the reason I ride the wind

For some, it can be deeply personal and particular. Not long ago, a concertgoer told me of hearing such a shattering performance of Bach’s magnificent Chaconne by one of the performers that

Personally, I am touched by the support of my former colleagues in the public-media business. Inspired by our unique Performance and Communication Training method, these professional broadcasters are investing in the Heifetz Institute to grow and sustain the next generation of great artistic communicators.

Perhaps you recognize your own story of support in these words. Or you will be adding new chapters and verses to the Heifetz journey. Regardless, let us “ride the wind” together through this enchanting six-week odyssey, powered by the mighty and beneficent breath of the donors below. THANK

BenjaminYOU!

Feel the rush of suspended time

n his welcome notes around four-score-and-seven pages ago, our Artistic Director Nicholas Kitchen encouraged us to “spread a sail that is about to catch the fabulous winds of every one of these efforts. We will ride this wind together through the summer, and I am already happy to think where it may take us!”

K. Roe President & CEO

Ride The Wind

This is not a passive act. Each and every one of us in the concert hall are both hearing it and contributing to its creation. Not only in the moment, but also long before the first note sounds! The pages that follow recognize those of you who have seeded the clouds to make our zephyrs of strings zing in the summertime.

Psychedelia aside, “the rush of suspended time” I think is a wonderful image for those magical moments in the concert hall when one of our Heifetz students truly “grows by letting go,” and conjures up a performance that borders on the transcendent. And we’re the ones fortunate enough to be part of the shared atmospheric conditions—sometimes a gentle breeze, other times a gale force—that creates the experience.

And you will find that you can grow by letting go.

Being of A Certain Age, those lines brought to mind a song from the sixties:

HEIFETZ INTERNATIONAL MUSIC INSTITUTE | 2022 SUMMER SEASON 61

Ride the wind, let your dreams blow

Ride the wind leave your mind behind

they had to “sit on the back stairs, cry a little bit, and think about things for a while.” Others give in memory of loved ones and their deep connection to our concert halls. At the other end are philanthropists, foundations, and businesses with public-spirited sensibilities, who wish to see arts and culture thrive in our corner of the world and to make it a more livable, welcoming place.

In the stream of the wind flow

Then there are the faculty members, alumni, and even parents of alums doing their part to nurture the unique atmosphere and mission of the Heifetz community. After a quarter-century of existence, these ties are growing longer, deeper, and generational; not only do we have our largest number of returning students this year (35 percent!), but we also are welcoming the offspring of alumni to the Institute for the first time!
