The Heifetz 25-Year Advent Calendar

Day 6: 2012 - The Heifetz Band Blows The Lid Off the Blackfriars

Welcome to December! For our final-month celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Heifetz Institute, we’ll be sharing audio, video, images, and programs from across the decades of the Institute. Check back each day from Dec. 1 – Dec. 25 as we share some memorable moments from each golden year of the Institute!

Aug. 9, 2012: Staunton, VA

How can we possibly begin to describe the welter of impressions, emotions, and memories of the summer of 2012…the Heifetz Institute’s very first season in Staunton, VA, home not only to the Heifetz Institute at Mary Baldwin University but to the world-famous American Shakespeare Center, and its iconic (and unique in the world) recreation of Shakespeare’s Blackfriars Playhouse?   How about if we begin at the end…for the finale concert of the season.  Even the Bard could not have imagined the joyful noise made by the full complement of Heifetz students playing Schubert at their most full-throated!

The 2012 Heifetz Band is onstage (and in “Juliet’s Balcony”) for the final movement of the Austrian composer’s masterful String Quintet in C major, D. 956. Read, listen, and view more stories and videos from the 25 years of the Heifetz Institute here!

Stay Connected!

Did you attend the Heifetz Institute? If so, you’re part of an exclusive group of musicians who have explored their full creative potential through the advanced private lessons, unrivaled concert appearances, and the unique Performance & Communication Training method. We believe that the one-of-a-kind Heifetz training prepares our students to become not only more effective communicators and performers, but also more confident and dynamic in all facets of life. Now we want to reconnect and hear more about how you’ve put your Heifetz experience to use – both on and off stage!

Fast Away The Old Year Passes!  The Heifetz Institute has been in the business of helping brilliant young talents blossom for 25 years now, the last two of which have required us to work even harder, smarter, and better to pursue our trailblazing mission. As you consider your year-end giving, please consider supporting our mission to enable the world’s most promising young musical talents to realize their artistic and communicative potential.
