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 24-25. Our special guest is internationally renowned conductor Maestro Bohuslav Rattay. Originally from Prague, Maestro Rattay currently is the Music Director of the El Paso (TX), Midland (MI), and Lake Charles (LA) Symphonies. He will be conducting the students in the famous Tchaikovsky String Serenade.
The event that will include string orchestra with Maestro Rattay 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.
