HARRISONBURG, Virginia (WHSV) – The Heifetz International Music Institute is leading its tenth summer program at Mary Baldwin University. This intensive six-week study attracts the best string musicians from around the world.
This summer, more than 100 students participate in a world-renowned program that features ongoing concerts open to the public. These performances help students develop a presence on stage and beyond.
“It’s about getting these artists thinking about how to become artists and not just good violin players,” said Heifetz International Music Institute President and CEO Benjamin Roe. “Our students arrive as stick figures and leave as works of art in motion.”
Younger students play in the Junior Division while older students play in the Senior Division. The musicians work with renowned teachers while dedicating themselves to advanced songwriting in a university environment.
Next week, the program will offer nightly shows at free and discounted prices. The concert schedule can be consulted here.
