BRAVI
TUTTI!!
Thank you for making 2021 a great year.
We hope to see you again next year!
The SWSQ Intermediate Chamber Music Workshop was a huge success! Many thanks to all
of the young musicians, and their families, as well as our coaches, Rebecca McKee and Laura Tagawa, and our Intern, Gabby Cioca. We are extremely grateful to The Gregory School for allowing us to be on their beautiful campus! It turns out that the firewall there didn't allow access to YouTube, but there is a video available now of that performance on our unlisted YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iss930p7pY4
We're off to a great start today with the SWSQ Advanced Chamber Music Workshop! There will be eight - yes, 8 - ensembles sharing their beautiful, amazing music with you. The wifi at The Gregory School will be down due to maintenance, so we will be unable to live-stream. However we will record the performance and upload that to video to an unlisted YouTube channel. Check back here for the link!

You can always watch from our FaceBook page, and if
you're unable to access that, you may view the video

Thank you so much for your interest in the 2020 Southwest
String Quartet Workshops. Your support over the years has
meant so much to us. We have come to the conclusion that
a workshop this summer is just not feasible. Finding a
facility to host us is a tremendous obstacle, and we want
to safeguard the health of our precious students and
teachers.
The 4 members of the Southwest String Quartet are all
available for online private lessons, and when it is safe,
for small group coaching sessions in our homes or
backyards. Please contact us individually if you are
interested.
We look forward to a future where the workshop is again
possible! Stay posted! We hope all of you will join us in summer 2021, and we will also be
considering options for mini-workshops during school
breaks, as well.

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! | |
