Happy Valentine's Day! Violist En-Chi Cheng introduces, and he and pianist Anton Smirnoff perform the first two sections ("Introduction" and "The Young Juliet") from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet." This ballet, based on William Shakespeare's play about the star-crossed lovers, originally avoided the morbid outcome of the original story. The composer explained, “living people can dance, the dead cannot.” The director, Sergei Radlov, clarified this decision, saying the story is “about the struggle for the right to love by young, strong, and progressive people battling against feudal traditions and feudal outlooks on marriage and family.” This revision sparked controversy among Soviet officials, and its production was delayed for five years while significant edits were made to the score and the more traditional ending was integrated.

Captured in performance at the 2015 Heifetz International Music Institute "Festival of Concerts," held at @Mary Baldwin University.

#FacultyFriday - the peerless Dominique Labelle will be the principal vocal instructor at the inagural Heifetz Baroque Vocal Worshop this summer. Throughout her career, Labelle has fearlessly plumbed the technical and emotional depths of music, turning in performances of “almost alarming ferocity” (San Francisco Chronicle), possessed of “conviction but without exhibitionism” (De Telegraaf), that have “the audience hanging on every note” (The Boston Globe). Her passionate commitment to music-making has led to close and enduring collaborations with a number of the world’s most respected conductors and composers. Don't miss this opportunity to study with one of the world's finest sopranos.The opening aria of Vivaldi's sacred motet "In turbato mare" RV 627, featuring soprano Dominique Labelle. Live video from the Voices of Music "Stabat Mater" ... ... See MoreSee Less

HEIFETZ HAPPENINGS

Video Of The Week: Bach’s “Strong Statement of Positive Energy” from Beiliang Zhu

 Bach begins his brilliant C Major suite with a simple descending scale, a strong statement of positive energy. From those very 1st opening notes we feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. One of the most distinctive and appealing features of the cello as an instrument is its rich deep bass qualities, epitomized by the […]

Shmuel Ashkenasi Heifetz Institute Sibelius

Video of the Week: Old-School Sibelius from a Living Legend

For financial expediency, Sibelius composed many short pieces for the violin during the First World War (orchestras struggled, as musicians were called to the front). However, these inventive miniatures are sadly neglected nowadays.    – Brendan Carroll, Hyperion When the name Jean Sibelius appears on a Heifetz Institute concert program, it’s invariably in connection with his […]

Video of the Week: Giving Voice to Vivaldi’s “Winter”

Sure, you’ve heard the music to Antonio Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” violin concertos, but did you know that there are words to go with it?  In the original 1725 publication of what was destined to become the Italian composer’s all-time megahit, Vivaldi inscribed brief little descriptive sonnets before the start of each movement.  We asked the celebrated […]
