This program, open to 16 advanced players aged 18-24, includes an additional week (Read about the 3-week program) of string quartet study with intensive coaching and private lessons with members of the Pacifica Quartet and an opportunity to perform. During this 25th Anniversary Year of Madeline Island Music Camp, these advanced players will join the Pacifica Quartet for a performance of the Mendelssohn Octet and perform side by side with the Pacifica Quartet and alumni (now active music professionals) in a celebratory chamber orchestra concert conducted by Minnesota Orchestra Director Osmo Vänskä. Jorja Fleezanis, former concertmaster of the Minnesota Orchestra and now faculty at the Indiana School of Music, will serve as concertmaster in a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings. The concert will be recorded by Minnesota Public Radio to be aired nationally via delayed broadcast. Participants in the Advanced Quartet Study week will have the opportunity to attend Ms. Fleezanis' workshop on Careers in Orchestra. At the conclusion of the chamber orchestra concert they are invited to share in the 25th anniversary celebration at a gala dinner/dance. Apply now!
