I am writing to inform you about the exclusive ‘invitation-only’ Spring Strings Honors Orchestra to be held at the Glenn Korff School of Music at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln on February 19-20. Our special guest is Maestro David Barg, the award-winning professional conductor-clincian for the education department of the New York Philharmonic and Music Director of the Topeka Symphony. He will be conducting the students in the famous Shostakovich Chamber Symphony for Strings in C minor.
The event that will include string orchestra with Maestro Barg and students will perform in master classes with UNL’s award winning string faculty: the members of the Grammy Award-nominated Chiara String Quartet, violin soloist David Neely, Lincoln Symphony Principal Violist Clark Potter, cellist with the Trio Nuovo and Concordia String Trio Dr. Karen Becker, and EMI and Innova recording artist Dr. Hans Sturm.
Students are chosen to participate through a nomination process. To nominate a student, please contact Dr. Hans Sturm: hsturm2@unl.edu
