PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Manhattan in the Mountains Summer 2018 will welcome new faculty pianist Andre-Michel Schub, cellist Jessica Chen, violinist Yang Liu and clarinetist Hana Kim. We are thrilled to welcome back Aleksey IGUDESMAN and Hyung-ki JOO as guest artists, for summer 2018, as guest faculty as well. Manhattan in the Mountains (MinM, as it is fondly called) has a private chef who serves us three meals a day, takes place in the Catskill Mountains in the scenic town of Hunter, New York, and features student recitals almost every night of the week. We also hike, and watch movies, and hear music history lectures, all while our students receive two private lessons per week, two chamber music lessons per week, and chamber music rehearsals daily. As well, MinM has full access to the Piano Performance Museum in Hunter, New York, which houses almost 30 historical pianos dating back to 1790. The students are invited not only to play these instruments, but to perform on them as well.
