Notes from Indy!

Hi all,

It has been an exciting couple of weeks in Indianapolis with the Preliminaries and Semi-Finals of the Eighth Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis occuring.  All of the Participants have performed stunningly!

This past evening, 2006 Gold Medalist Augustin Hadelich returned to perform a recital at the Christel Dehaan Fine Arts Center.  It was an incredible concert of works by Beethoven, Poulenc, Schnittke, Ysyae, and Sarasate.  The appreciative audience was also treated to a heartfelt encore performance of Fritz Kreisler's Liebesleid.

The Competition resumes tonight with the first of two nights of Classical Finals (Mozart or Haydn Concerti) at the Christel Dehaan Fine Arts Center with the Indianapolis Symphony under the direction of Samuel Wong.  If you can't catch the performances live in-person, check out the live streaming from the Violin Competition's website: www.violin.org!  You can also watch the live stream directly from your iPhone through the Competition's very own app!  Please join us!

Isaac
