Dear Friends,
I wanted to alert you to a special concert that is taking place this Friday at Our Savior, 7:oo p.m. We received a call this week about hosting the concert at the last minute and are happy to work together with the Matt Stott and the Orchestra program of Vero Beach High School in doing so. The information below will tell you about this awesome FREE concert with students taught by one of the best folk musicians in the world.
Hope to see you at the concert!
Ryan Hostler, Minister of Music, MACM
The Mike Block String Camp Advanced Extension will present a free public concert on Friday, July 12, at 7:00 PM, at Our Savior Lutheran Church.
The highly entertaining concert will include twenty-five advanced students and professional musicians from around the world performing in small ensembles of three-to-five members along with a faculty artist.
The Mike Block String Camp has brought faculty from around the United States to work with local students along with musicians from around the United States and world for two weeks. The faculty: Mike Block, Brittany Haas, Hanneke Cassel, Rushad Eggleston, Zach Brock, Victor Lin, and Kai Welch are performing artists who specialize in a variety of musical traditions; folk, Appalachian fiddle, jazz, blues and Scottish fiddle.
Block is most famous for playing second cello alongside Yo-Yo Ma. He performed in Mark O'Connor's Appalachia Waltz trio for three years. His performances have been described as "vital, rich-hued solo playing" by the New York Times, and "a true artist ... a sight to behold" by the Salt Lake City Deseret News
Last week, sixty-five students, aged seven to seventy studied with the faculty. This week, the camp is limited to twenty-five advanced students and professionals, including three Vero Beach residents. Musicians have traveled from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Japan, Korea, and England to Vero Beach for this opportunity.
