The Piano & Strings Program focuses on interpreting classical sonatas and chamber music through deep collaboration in small groups. Each season, about 30 violinists, violists, cellists, and pianists come together for an immersive experience. They engage in intensive rehearsals and receive guidance from leading artists, who help them refine their craft and enhance their interpretive skills and creative insights.
“It is such a welcoming and encouraging environment, that I felt I’ve grown not only as a musician but [as] a human being, to be more brave and confident.”
