Welcome to the Minnesota Viola
Society!
Come
one, come all!
Free
and open to the public
The
Minnesota Viola Society is sponsoring our first event of 2010...
Lesser-Known Gems for Viola
An
Afternoon of Not the Same-Old, Same-Old Music
It
will be an afternoon of music for viola that is definitely NOT the same-old,
same old.
In
a master-class format, prominent viola teachers from the area - along with
their students - will be performing and discussing the pertinent
aspects of teaching and performing some lesser-known and often over-looked
works for viola and viola ensembles.
Some
of the viola teachers from the area who will be coming with their students
include Dr. Lynda Bradley-Vacco, viola professor from Bethel University and
our host for the event; Korey Konkol, viola professor from the Univ. of
Minnesota; Richard Marshall, violist with the Minnesota Orchestra;
Ingrid Koller, Levi Comstock, and Valerie Little, viola teachers in the Twin
Cities. This will be a very exciting and inspirational event!
