Jamming in the City

Mar 19, 2018 | Performing Arts

D-E’s Upper School ensemble StringJam traveled to Carnegie Hall’s Resnick Education Wing for a master class/workshop in January with the acclaimed quartet Ensemble Connect. StringJam Director and D-E Music Department faculty member Annaliesa Place commented, “This was a wonderful opportunity for our StringJam musicians to learn about the art of playing  chamber music, and how a larger string ensemble functions as a string quartet. Between hearing from the quartet and also with the fellows playing side by side with our students, this was an amazing musical collaboration for us all!”
