hour of music and some valuable tips on technique and interpretation.

Said Conductor Eric Stewart, “I am excited to have an opportunity to dig deep into some great repertoire
with these incredible artists. Our “Artists for Artists” virtual master class series will be a treat for all
serious amateur musicians and music lovers.”
