Dear Colleagues in Music,
As part of the Elisabeth Luce Moore Chamber Music Residency, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is
excited to announce the Sixteenth Annual ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø String Festival, featuring
the world-renowned as artists-in-residence. We invite established high school string quartets to apply
for participation in this year's festival.
Invited quartets will join ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students for a weekend of individual, non-competitive
coaching with the dynamic Ying Quartet and ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø String Faculty; performance of
a prepared work of your choice in the acoustically spectacular Helen Ladd Concert
Hall in the Zankel Music Center; join artist faculty, all festival quartets, and the
Ying Quartet on stage for the festival finale in a group performance of Tchaikovsky
Serenade for Strings. ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø offers this annual event at no cost to students

A highlight of the festival will be a performance by the Ying Quartet on Saturday,
April 4th at 7 p.m. Tickets for this event are available on the or by calling 518-580-5321. We also welcome all string players and other music enthusiasts
to attend all other festival events, which are open to the public and free of charge.
This festival has proven to be a valuable musical experience for high school string
players, while giving them the opportunity to explore ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø as a resource
for their educational journey.
Since space is limited, I encourage your students to apply early, and welcome the opportunity to speak with you or your students about their interest
in and preparation for this inspiring weekend of music-making.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
