Next week violinists from all over the world will gather in New York the 2015 Starling-DeLay Symposium on Violin Studies at The Juilliard School.

It promises to be an exciting week, with so many wonderful artists and teachers scheduled to participate. I will be in New York to bring you coverage of the master classes, concerts and pedagogy classes, which begin Tuesday and run through Saturday. Here is a little preview:

Master classes will occur every day, with student artists playing for Sarah Chang, Ronald Copes, Laurie Smukler, Daniel Heifetz and Paul Kantor.

Several recitals will take place, including performances by Sean Lee on Tuesday night and Ani and Ida Kavafian on Friday night. Student artists will give performances on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Daily pedagogy classes include topics such as tone production, right- and left-hand basics, interpreting the Tchaikovsky concerto, teaching Kreisler and more. Those will be taught by Brian Lewis, James Stern, Kurt Sassmannshaus and Benjamin Ramirez.

Check in with Violinist.com next week, as well as the following week, for daily coverage of these events! Articles will appear on Laurie Niles' blog (that's me!), and on our official Starling-DeLay Symposium on Violin Studies at Juilliard page, which contains both past and present articles on the symposium.
