I am thrilled to announce that Elly Suh will be stopping by during String Society to treat the students to a solo violin performance and give a masterclass. I met Elly when we both played in a concert with Metropolis Ensemble at Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) a few years ago backing up Questlove. We have since played together a few times with the East Coast Chamber Orchestra.
Join us in Hajjar Auditorium on Wednesday, August 6th at 1:45 for Elly's performance and masterclass.
Violinist Elly Suh, praised as “a sensitive and absorbing interpreter” (Musical America), is the 2nd Prize winner of the 2012 Naumburg International Violin Competition and 3rd Prize winner of the 2013 Moscow International David Oistrakh Violin Competition.
