IF EDUCATION IS YOUR PASSION, LOOK NO FURTHER.
Education is a key component of CMR's mission.
One of its four core programs is
The Young Artist Chamber Ensemble Fellowship Program for serious young music students to study the
major string chamber music repertoire coached by professional artists and to gain performance experience. This season, the young musicians participating and who you will hear perform on the April 15th soirée are, as seen in the middle picture: cellist Olivia Knock [left], senior, music education major, University of Nevada, Reno; violinist Adele Balcarek [center left], senior at TMCC High School; violinist Stacy Nam [center right], sophomore at Damonte Ranch High School; and violist Bijan Taheri [right], senior at the Davidson Academy.
The students, calling themselves Quartet Vérité, are working on Dvořák’s Quartet No. 6 in F Major, Op. 96 "American".
