Chamber Music by the Sea
Here is a brief sample of the opportunities that we were able to bring to Worcester County Public School students thanks to the generous support for last year’s festival & the support of the Paul M. Angell Foundation.
We were able to virtually host 4 internationally renowned musicians in the classrooms for our students. They were not only able to get their own private performance, but they were able to ask the musicians anything they wished.
2021 Visiting Virtual Artists
Tom Poster & Elena Urioste
The first Visiting Virtual Artist performance was on April 6th with the dynamic duo, Elena Urioste, the Artistic Director of Chamber Music by the Sea, and Tom Poster, the Artistic Director of the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective. The Royal Philharmonic Society's 2020 Inspiration Award recipients Zoomed into Buckingham Elementary School all the way from London. Students created works of art inspired by the music.
Anthony McGill
On April 7th Anthony McGill, the principal clarinetist from the New York Philharmonic, Zoomed into Pocomoke Middle School. He shared incredible pieces on the clarinet, and even a peek into his childhood. He even spoke about the lead-up to Yo-Yo Ma asking him to play a piece with him for the inauguration of President Obama.
Weston Sprott
The final Visiting Virtual Artist was Weston Sprott, who joined Snow Hill Middle School students on Monday, May 10th. In addition to being an incredibly talented trombonist who plays for the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, he is the Dean of the Preparatory Division of The Juilliard School.
