New York Philharmonic Musicians to Coach Student Chamber Ensembles and Perform at Hoff-Barthelson Music School
21st Annual Elaine Stamas New York Philharmonic Educational Residency set for April 24
Hoff-Barthelson Music School’s 2017 Elaine Stamas New York Philharmonic Educational Residency, featuring members of the New York Philharmonic, will be held on Monday, April 24, 2017, at the Music School, 25 School Lane, Scarsdale, New York. This program, held annually each spring, is named in honor of Elaine Stamas, who was a long-time supporter of the School’s Philharmonic program and member of the Board of Trustees.
About the Educational Residency:
Hoff-Barthelson’s chamber music program is a cornerstone of its performance curriculum; this season, 40 ensembles rehearse and perform at the School. Students at all levels of proficiency are encouraged to explore the unique pleasure of making music with their fellow musicians. The New York Philharmonic Educational Residency, now in its 21st year, gives twelve of these ensembles the opportunity to perform for Philharmonic members, who share their comprehensive knowledge of ensemble playing with these young musicians and guide them to a higher understanding of technique, musicianship and musical style.
Three members of the Philharmonic, Lisa E. Kim, violin; Rebecca Young, viola; and Mindy Kaufman, flute, will coach student chamber music ensembles from 3:45 – 5:45 pm.
The public is invited to observe the Educational Residency free of charge.
