Hello all! Having left California's heat a few days ago, I returned to a very hot Canada and was immediately put into the teacher's seat at the National Youth Orchestra's String Quartet
training session. The groups had already been preparing string quartets for over a week, and the results have been excellent! The opportunity to pass on what we know as artists, and
the chance to watch talent grow right in front of you is something I feel extremely fortunate to do. At SweetWater, we've been doing it for 10 years! Through our Saturday morning
Masterclass series and our outreach projects at local schools, we've had a chance to give the gift of music to children from ages 6 to 96. As well, our children's concerts have been a
great hit - anyone out there remember "Jake and the Musical Zoo"? This September we'll have our Saturday morning Masterclass series, as well as a terrific performance by the group Van
Django.
Tomorrow I leave for Italy. I'll write again once I arrive at Lake Como. The next blog will be about our new pieces of music that have been premiered at SweetWater over the
years.
