A memorable #HeifetzOnThisDay today – going back to July 11, 2021 when Heifetz alumna and Avery Fisher Career Grant winner Rachell Ellen Wong – the first Baroque violinist ever to be so honored – returned to Staunton for a personal and powerful interpretation of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Rachell is joined by an all-star cast of #Heifetz2021 students, alums, and special guests in concert in First Presbyterian Church in Staunton, VA. You can catch the full program & Rachell’s own performance notes here!
Rachell will be returning to Staunton on July 17 to perform in our fourth Celebrity Series concert of our 30th Anniversary season. Get your tickets here.
