OLCLASS - Classical Music Virtuousos
Course Description
In this 6-week course we’ll useanecdotes, stories, humor, and
strong support of audiovisuals to
explore the works and the legacy
of influential performers who gave
technical brilliance, richness of tone
and showmanship another meaning,
on piano, violin, cello and other
instruments. We will study contrasting
performers who base their art on
acrobatics, but find a balance with
intensity, passion, and bold elegance and
performers whose impressive ability,
charisma and distinctive sound have
impressedaudiences in the last 150
years, like Arthur Rubinstein, Jascha
Heifetz, Vladimir Horowitz, Yuya Wang,
Itzhak Perlman, Ara Malikian, Anne-
Sophie Mutter, Lang, Mischa Maisky, and
future talents, like Alma Deutscher.
