Each year, SummerFest invites several conservatory students to participate in this intensive series of master classes conducted by senior artists from the SummerFest roster. The students are in residence for the entire festival participating in three weeks of classes which culminate in performances during SummerFest. The training they receive in this intense atmosphere contributes to their growth as the next generation of celebrated musicians.

During SummerFest 2011, audiences are invited to follow the artistic growth of this year’s Fellowship Artists – The Old City String Quartet: Bryan Lee and Joel Link, violins; Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, viola; Camden Shaw, cello and the Éclat Quartet: Sonja Harasim and Xiaoxaio Qiang, violins; Zachary Carrettin, viola; Lachezar Kostov, cello. 

SummerFest performers will also coach young local musicians from the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory. La Jolla Music Society maintains an active partnership with the San Diego Youth Symphony to support student musicians in the San Diego area.

Please Note: Coaching workshop coaches, participants and repertoire are subject to change.  If you are interested in a specific coach, participant or piece, make sure to check this page shortly before the coaching.
