The Heifetz 25-Year Advent Calendar
Day 22 - 2017: A Whole Lotta Love, and a Bartok Bonus!
July 31, 2017: Staunton, VA
2017 was truly a “Summer of Love” at the Heifetz Institute, where in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Tourism, Love indeed came to Staunton, as part of a traveling statewide exhibit.
Certainly we felt lots of love from our Heifetz audiences, and remarkable energy and ferocious commitment from our record 111 students! So much so that we added two “bonus concerts” in our final week to accommodate the number of performers itching to take the Francis stage one last time.
Leading off with 17-year-old Israeli violinist Mark Karlinski, with a rare Heifetz performance of one of Béla Bartók’s earliest, briefest, and yet most iconic works: the six Romanian Dances. Mark is joined by our indefatigable pianist Dina Vainshtein.
Our love-ly Summer of 2017 had 111 students, performing in 52 concerts!
