The Youth Strings Program is for string musicians playing violin, viola, cello or bass.
Classes will take place each morning from 9:00-13:00. New students must audition on the morning of Monday August 24 on the campus of Suleimaniya University or submit an audition video. Students must have at least one full year of playing experience, be able to bring their instrument to class and read music in order to participate. Please prepare one solo and be preparing to play a major or minor scale at the audition. You will also be auditioned for your reading ability.
Classes will include string orchestra, group lessons, chamber music and private lessons.
This class will be lead by violist Kim Mai Nguyen and cellist Avery Waite, both graduates of the Julliard School in New York City and frequent leaders of youth string programs round the world. They have performed around the world in venues ranging from the United Nations Assembly and the Spoleto Festival to the El Sistema programs of Jamaica and Afghanistan.
