 About the Elaine Stamas Educational Residency and Chamber Music Master Classes:

The Educational Residency, now in its 24th year, gives HBMS students the opportunity to perform for members of the New York Philharmonic who share their comprehensive knowledge of ensemble playing with these young musicians, guiding them to a higher understanding of technique, musicianship and musical style. Four members of the Philharmonic – Yulia Ziskel, violin; Eric Huebner, piano; Eric Bartlett, cello; and Mindy Kaufman, flute, will coach student chamber music ensembles. This residency is named in honor of Elaine Stamas, a long-time supporter of the School and member of the Board of Trustees.
