VCU Global Summer Institute
Virginia Commonwealth University stages its third Global Summer Institute of Music from July 31 through Aug. 10, with an extensive series of public performances by institute faculty and students.
In this summer’s program, some two dozen faculty members will work with nearly 70 students in individual lessons and workshops in solo and chamber music, improvisation, repertory and study and performance issues. Students of piano, strings, woodwind, voice and composition are participating.
The roster of guest speakers and clinicians is headed by pianist Nelita True and cellist Emmanuel Feldman.
Following a week of recital programs, winners of a concerto competition will perform in a final concert with an orchestra of VCU and institute faculty, supplemented by musicians from the Richmond area, conducted by Daniel Myssyk.
Concerts will be staged at VCU and other venues in the Fan District and downtown Richmond.
