String Academy

The film documentary Circling Around – The Violin Virtuosi, documents the journey taken by young violinists from the Indiana University String Academy through the arduous details of lessons and rehearsals, the inspiration of master classes, and the joys and rewards of performing throughout the world.  Through interviews with these young violinists insights into home life, sacrifices, friendships, and frustrations are revealed.  Musical excerpts from Brahms, Copland, Sarasate and an original soundtrack by Director/Composer, Hideki Isoda (RIAX) bring this film to life.

In its 23rd year, the Indiana University Summer String Academy offers serious young string players an intensive and varied program under the direction of an outstanding faculty at one of the world's most renowned schools of music.

The Retreat gives professional violinists and violists the opportunity to immerse themselves in private lessons and practicing, and to participate in intensive pedagogy workshops.
