#bassistswanted
For #FacultyFriday we check in with Sam Suggs, the first solo bassist in 36 years to join the Concert Artists Guild roster, and professor at JMU School of Music. Applauded by The Strad for his “brilliant and compelling programming,” he was recently recognized with an award for Extraordinary Creativity at the 2017 Bradetich Foundation International Double Bass Competition and won first place at the 2015 International Society of Bassists Solo Competition.

Mr. Suggs will be leading the inaugural Heifetz Double Bass Studio & Workshop, an intensive two-week program focusing on both solo and chamber study. Students enrolled in the bass workshop will receive two private lessons per week, a weekly studio-performance class, be assigned to chamber ensembles with other Heifetz students, and participate in all other Heifetz Institute activities, including Performance and Communication Training classes.

Apply now for the unique opportunity to work with one of the brightest stars in the bass world - https://www.heifetzinstitute.org/applynow/

The Heifetz PEG (Program from the Exceptionally Gifted) summer session is for string players 9-14 years old. The students follow a customized instruction with separate string faculty, living, and rehearsal facilities, and are also able to participate in several campus-wide activities and permitted to observe and model the behavior of older students. Watch 12-year old violinist Serin Park, a member of the inaugural program in 2016, play the first movement of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 with pianist Ta Wei Tsai.
