UPDATE:
|
For
over 20 years the Southwest String Quartet Summer Workshops have been the
highlight of the summer for all of us. The chance to work on musical
masterpieces with amazing students in small groups is so exciting and
satisfying. As you know, summer 2020 is presenting extreme challenges for
everyone. We are still hopeful that we will be able to offer a workshop
in July, but we reluctantly have faced the fact that our planned workshops in
May and June need to be canceled. In addition to serious health concerns
for all, we are dependent on finding a facility that is willing to host our
workshop. Also, we need to investigate our insurance situation.
We
are exploring the idea of holding a multi-level workshop July 6-10. In
past years we have combined the advanced and intermediate levels successfully
into one workshop, and we are confident that we can creatively accomplish this
again. If this comes to fruition, our current plan is to do 5 days, 9:30
to 2:30, with a livestreamed concert the afternoon of the last day. Having a
large audience does not seem possible or safe this summer. We will work
on this plan and communicate details to you when we can.
As
noted above, we are dependent on finding a facility willing to have the
workshop. And we want to make sure that all of us are confident that the
workshop will be a safe environment. If you have any ideas or thoughts
concerning this, please share them with us.
We
love making music with all of you and we can't wait for the next opportunity to
come together under the Southwest String Quartet umbrella, even if it has to be
in summer 2021. Please keep practicing and enjoying your instrument. You
are the future of our amazing art form, and you can model for others the
compassion and sensitivity that playing music together brings to our
world.
Please don't heistate to contact us if you have any questions
or concerns. Take care, be safe, well and
happy!
