Dedicated to artistic excellence and innovation, the Festival presents traditional and contemporary classical music in an accessible and intimate style.
Featured artist: Lynn Harrell, cello
Lynn Harrell’s presence is felt throughout the musical world. A consummate soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, conductor and teacher, his work throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia has placed him in the highest echelon of today’s performing artists.
Mr. Harrell is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Piatigorsky Award, the Ford Foundation Concert Artists’ Award, and the first Avery Fisher Prize (jointly with Murray Perahia).
Mr. Harrell will be working with gifted young musicians in a weeklong personal teaching environment. The public has the rare opportunity to observe these stars of tomorrow in workshops and masterclasses as they hone their musical technique and expression, and to enjoy special performances by the master and pupils in intimate settings.
