On Saturday, May 6th the Virtuosi performed a beautiful concert at the WH Lee Violin Shop. Thank you to Bill Lee and Eli Biagi for making this possible. And thank you to Almita Vamos for an inspiring master class on Sunday. Many wonderful memories for all.

Thank you to our new violin professor, Kyung Sun Lee, for an inspiring master class.

Thank you to Robin Scott for a wonderful and insightful master class. Robin worked with Miranda Isbitts, Catelijne Hunt, Layla Vamos and Cooper Olsen.

Thank you to Joel Smirnoff for an inspiring and insightful master class with Miranda Isbitts, Elson Koh, Cooper Olsen and James Robinson – January 29, 2023.

Ella Hightower won the 1st place prize in the Junior Division of the Indianapolis Youth Orchestra Young Artist Competition. James Robinson took home the 3rd prize in the Senior Division. Bravo to both of you!

It is a thrill to meet-up with former String Academy students and teachers that are now all grown-up….Zoe Martin-Doike (Metropolitan Opera Orchestra), Ren Martin-Doike (doing a lot of playing with the Philadelphia Orchestra), and Asia Doike (playing with the Hawaii Symphony and doing lots of teaching in Oahu).

Hello to all:

The String Academy and its faculty wish you all the best as we head into 2023. We thank you for another wonderful year of beautiful playing and the consistent practicing it takes to arrive there.

Make sure that you have set your lesson times with your private teacher and confirm your group time.

See you soon and best wishes,

Mimi

Elson Koh performed a magnificent Sibelius Concerto with the Bloomington Symphony. Thank you to Alejandro Gomez Guillen (conductor) and members of the orchestra.
