We are excited to introduce our new violin faculty member, David Colwell, Yale graduate and former professor of violin at the University of Virginia. Dr. Colwell has extensive experience as a soloist and chamber musician, as well as leading professional orchestras as concertmaster.
THE STRING EXPERIENCE ... is a seminar for high school violinists, violists, cellists and bassists that brings you in contact with Fredonia's conservatory-trained string faculty. The String Experience exemplifies the unique one-on-one relationship that is fostered between students and teachers at Fredonia. Young musicians will be given the chance to improve performance and practice techniques, interact with other string players, and attend a recital with our distinguished faculty artists. String players will work in small sessions, developing performance skills, working on issues of stage fright and the audition process, improving technical skills such intonation, tone production, and more. The atmosphere is designed to be a fun, supportive learning environment for students, but teachers and parents are also encouraged to attend - we hope you'll join us for this exciting event.
This year, we are proud to be featuring a member of Dr. Colwell's violin studio in our String Experience Final Concert. Lina Horwitz, a Junior focusing on violin performance from Rochester, N.Y., was a first place winner in the SUNY Fredonia Concerto Competition last spring. She will close the String Experience Gala Faculty Concert with Henryk Wienawski's Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor, accompanied by the String Experience Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Roderick MacDonald.
