News

Last year's Virtuoso Violas was a total success. Comments from students, as well as parents, showed their appreciation for a day reserved for the lovely sound of violas.

Students realized how much they had improved their playing skills in such a short time under the direction of master violists and many have already said they will be back again for Virtuoso Violas 2011.
