Calling All Student Violinists: Free Master Class To Take Place Next Week

MANHASSET, NY — Music has the power to inspire, and next week, students can experience that through a free violin master class.

Manhasset's Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York is hosting a free violin master class at the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame in Stony Brook.

This is a free event for students across Long Island. Stony Brook professor Dr. Joanna Kaczorowska will be teaching the master class on Feb. 11.

Anthea Jackson, MYO executive director, said they are thrilled to host the master class "in order to build a violin community beyond our 200 plus MYO violinists, so they can learn from each other and from community musical leaders like Dr. Joanna Kaczorowska."

She said the master class will focus on refining technique, interpretation, and performance skills before a live audience. There will be guidance, peer learning, and networking opportunities.

She said they look forward to making it an annual event.
