Hoff-Barthelson Music School Master Class Series: Peter Stumpf, cello

Celebrated cellist to coach HBMS cello students

The 2017-2018 Hoff-Barthelson Music School Master Class Series continues with internationally renowned cellist Peter Stumpf coaching HBMS cello students on Sunday, February 11, 2018, at 2:00 pm, at Hoff-Barthelson Music School, 25 School Lane, Scarsdale. The public is invited to observe the Master Class free of charge.

About Peter Stumpf:
Peter Stumpf is professor of cello at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. He was principal cellist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and associate principal cellist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Master classes include the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, Manhattan and Mannes Schools of Music, the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, and Seoul National University.

About the Hoff-Barthelson Music School Master Class Series:
Master class coaching by guest artists has been part of Hoff-Barthelson’s curriculum since the School’s founding in 1944. This distinguished tradition continues this season with a roster of world-class musicians and educators including theater director Laura Josepher, composer David Sisco, pianist Michael Boriskin, cellist Peter Stumpf, violist Chauncey Patterson, violinist Rachel Barton Pine, flutist Yoobin Son, jazz great Gary Smulyan and members of the New York Philharmonic.

Master classes are an enlightening experience for students and audiences alike. After months of careful preparation, students perform for and then receive feedback and guidance from a master teacher who often challenges the student to think in new and critical ways about the piece they’ve prepared. The results are inspiring and enlightening and serve as a catalyst for students to reach new heights in their own musical explorations. Yet the learning isn’t limited just to the students who perform. In point of fact, any student—regardless of their level of development or whether or not they even play the same instrument—can learn a great deal. As HBMS voice faculty member Jenny Hayden attests, master classes can provide powerful growth experiences for everyone in the room: “Young artists need to grasp that they have everything to gain by listening to experts of any instrument or the voice. A master class is an introduction to excellence—the musical enlightenment is transferable and inspiring. Any master class is an opportunity for a transformed perception of what phrasing, intonation and expression offer to the audience.”
