Virtual Extension Classes & Distinguished Guest Artist Series
A special part of restringing this year’s Academy is to provide our students with Virtual Extension Classes to expand their Rosamunde time beyond the Academy week in August. These include a class on Richard Strauss’ Don Juan orchestral audition excerpt and a composition competition (open to all composers aged 24 and under, deadline May 28, 2021) which will result in the virtual collaboration project piece for the Academy. You are invited to audit the Rosamunde Restrung '21 Distinguished Guest Artist masterclass series (all violin, viola and cello master classes) for a fee of $100. You will receive a schedule and zoom link prior to the Academy. For auditing options please contact us.
