From Around the World to Staunton: #Heifetz2025
157 young musicians. 14 countries. One unforgettable summer of talent.
They range in age from 7 to 27, hail from 14 countries, and come to us from prestigious conservatories, public schools, international academies, and more. And many of them are no strangers to Staunton, as nearly one third are returning Heifetz alums.
All told, the 157 remarkable young artists of #Heifetz2025 make up one of the largest, most gifted, and most globally diverse cohorts ever to gather under the Heifetz banner.
This year marked our most competitive admissions season to date, and while we wish we could have admitted even more outstanding applicants, we are deeply grateful to everyone who shared their talent, passion, and artistry with us.
Meet the full 2025 Student Roster—and get your first glimpse of the next Heifetz performer who just might take your breath away.
