Heifetz on Air Episode 69: Virtuosi!

Each week, Heifetz On Air presents captivating performances by students, faculty, and alumni of the renowned Heifetz International Music Institute, located in the Staunton, VA. The program is hosted by Benjamin K. Roe, President and CEO of the Heifetz Institute, and a Peabody Award-winning public media veteran. The Heifetz Institute is distinguished by its intensive six-week summer program, which assembles the most promising young musicians from across the globe to study and perform under the tutelage of the premier pedagogues in the field, led by Artistic Director Nicholas Kitchen of the Borromeo String Quartet. Each episode of Heifetz on Air focuses on a particular theme, composer, or style, and explores the boundaries of both familiar masterworks and underrepresented repertoire through the dazzling solo performances and inspiring chamber music collaborations captured live on the Heifetz stage. Heifetz On Air is produced in partnership with NPR station WTJU, Charlottesville, VA, and distributed via PRX, the Public Radio Exchange.
