Heifetz On Tour
Saturday Oct 20, 2018 7:30 PMFresh from the Heifetz International Institute’s stunning 2018 Summer Program, we welcome the young artists of “Heifetz On Tour.” This will be Wolfeboro Friends of Music's seventh consecutive "Heifetz On Tour" concert to the delight of our Wolfeboro audience. The concert will feature a quartet of performers – violinist Melody Yuan, violist Matthew Cohen, cellist Noémie Raymond-Friset, and pianist Zhenni Li - from the Heifetz Institute, the highly regarded string instruction program and accompanying festival formerly held in Wolfeboro.
The concert will feature these young Heifetz artists in suites, serenades, sonatas, and showpieces – as well as some great chamber masterworks. Performances will include Igor Stravinsky’s infectious Suite Italienne, the dazzling Carmen Fantasy by Hollywood composer Franz Waxman, the riveting 32 Variations in C minor by Beethoven, as well as the passionate Piano Quartet No. 1 by Gabriel Fauré.
These Heifetz artists continue to astound and amaze audiences wherever they go. Its signature "Heifetz on Tour" program creates real-world performance and outreach opportunities for promising young Heifetz Institute alumni.
Friends of Music is supported in part by grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
