News & Events

All of our string academy cellists are encouraged to attend the exceptional Master Classes on Sunday September 30. At 10 Stephen Geber, former principal cello of the Cleveland Orchestra will give a class and in the afternoon Prof. Timothy Eddy of the Orion Quartet and the Juilliard School of Music will give a class followed by an Indiana Cello Ensemble performance.

Above is a photo from last year's celebration honoring Lynn Harrell, shown here with Susan Moses and her husband Myron Bloom.

The rehearsal for this year's Halloween Costume Gala will be Saturday morning October 27th with an afternoon concert. It is our tradition to play in costume and we always begin with a costume parade! Repertoire is still to be completely decided but here is the repertoire as it stands now:

• Beginners: C-G-C, Ants, SeeSaw, early book 1 Twinkle and Variations, French Folk Song
• Book 2 and above: Witches' Dance plus personal cadenza
• Susan's Thursday class and above: Popper Gnomentanz, Mendelssohn Song Without Words
• Saturday classes: Goltermann Capriccio, Faure Papillon, Bach G major Prelude

We hope that you are enjoying some summer moments before fall semester is upon us. All the components of the Summer String Academy were very rewarding, culminating in concerts par excellence.
