Summer Music Institute at Tateuchi Hall Concludes
Over the course of two weeks this summer, 25 accomplished music students (in violin, piano, viola and cello) from the Bay Area and beyond participated in Summer Music Institute at Tateuchi Hall. The program provided ample opportunities to perform and grow, honing professionalism and building self-confidence through masterclasses, recitals and chamber music ensembles. The faculty included nationally renowned musicians, including members of the San Francisco Symphony. See CSMA’s blog for a glimpse into this year’s experience.
