Liam Mansfield "Our last concert is going to be a side by side collaboration with these excellent young string quartets. I hope to see you there. It's going to be one of a kind and fantastic. See you this summer." Scott Jackson “it's an intense week of chamber music lessons, coaching and performances in small groups and one on one. You'll get to hear the faculty perform at different concerts. It's going to be a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, and I hope that you will come and join us and I'll see you there.” Omar Shelly “This program will feature faculty members who are all born and raised here in Las Vegas and aims to celebrate the unique culture of chamber music and string playing that we have here in the Las Vegas Valley.” Jeremy Russo "Music festivals like these, where you get to make music with other like-minded people and trained with really great teachers, really inspired me and formed a solid music foundation for me growing up." Shakeh Ghoukasian “You might be intrigued by the name of our festival. It has its roots in my 40 year journey, nurturing musical talent in the Las Vegas community, where I've had the honor of seeing many young musicians flourish and take the global concert stages by storm."
