Heifetz alums and frequent contributors Rachell Ellen Wong and Zlatomir Fung have been awarded 2020 Avery Fisher Career Grants, among the most prestigious award a young musician can receive. Rachell and Zlatomir's honors now brings the number of Heifetz Institute alums to win Avery Fisher grants to five, joining previous winners Itamar Zorman (2013), Alexi Kenney (2016), and Chad Hoopes (2017). Not to mention Nicholas Kitchen and the Borromeo Quartet, who were named Fisher Grant winners in 2007! Many in our Heifetz community have had the chance to get to know Rachell and Zlatomir, onstage and backstage through their performances, public and private, here in Staunton or as part of Heifetz on Tour, and we suspect you’ll agree that these awards could not be given to two finer people or more inspiring artists.

"That Bach wrote a concerto for two solo violas, the proletarian among the instruments, the one who never gets to play a solo – that was a social revolution among the instruments...” – Conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt

*BACH AROUND THE CLOCK EXCLUSIVE* Hailed by Alex Ross and The New Yorker for his “flawless technique and keen musicality,” cellist Coleman Itzkoff enjoys a diverse career as a soloist, chamber musician, and educator. Coleman is an alum of oth Heifetz On Tour and the 2013 Summer Institute, and continues to serve as an Artist in Residence. He shared these exclusive videos and shared his thoughts: "These were recorded recently in one of the dance studios at Baryshnikov Arts Center in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC. I notice a lot of folks putting out videos of Bach, and have even found myself spontaneously turning to his music almost from the very beginning of this whole crisis. For days I was just running through the cello suites, and even attempting to read through and record the keyboard music. There’s solace to be found in his music, a music more than any other that creates order out of chaos, music oriented towards truth, beauty, grace, transcendence. I don’t wanna question it too much, though, so I guess I’ll just continue to shed away." #playerswanted #cello #violin #viola #classicalmusic #chambermusic #stringquartet #stauntonva #virginiaisformusiclovers #shenandoahvalley #vamusic #bach #jsbach #cellosuite #happybirthdaybach #bacharoundtheclock #violinist #violist #cellist #cellosuite

Heifetz faculty keyboardist Andrew Rosenblum was among the performers we were most excited about in this year's festivities. While he couldn't join in person, he shares some inspiring and insightful words, and exquisite performances of two great harpsichord pieces by J.S.: Prelude & Fugue No. 15 in G major from the Well-Tempered Clavier, BWV 860, and Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother, BWV 992.
