Music from Salem’s Viola & Violin Seminar participants and faculty will perform a workshop concert.

The wonderful viola/violin seminar morphs into a chamber music seminar as we welcome a cellist (for those experiencing cello withdrawal)! Participants from undergrad through doctoral programs do a deep dive into the score of a sonata where piano and strings are equal partners. Movements from three works by Prokofiev, Debussy, Beethoven’s Spring Sonata, a duo with a fun klezmer/Argentinian tango mix, one of the magnificent Leclair sonatas for two violins, and a plunge into Brahms C minor piano Quartet, are on the program. It is a week of intensive one-on-one coaching with Sharan Leventhal, Marc Ryser, and Lila Brown, as well as master classes and fun public speaking practice, with some Tai Chi on the lawn and dance improvisation charades sprinkled in. The seminar culminates in a charming concert by our nine participants. Don’t miss it!
