Complimentary Tickets for Online Master Classes with Stars of The Philadelphia Orchestra

All PIMF virtual interactive Master Classes are complimentary through Spring 2021.

Philadelphia, PA, November 21, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Philadelphia International Music Festival is offering complimentary tickets to its Winter Master Class Series featuring members of The Philadelphia Orchestra through Spring 2021, including Jeffrey Lang, Kerri Ryan, Erina Yashima, Dara Morales, Nathaniel West, and Boris Allakhverdyan of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

“We have a lot of confidence and even more hope that our students and faculty will be playing together, in person at this time next year,” says PIMF President Sandy Marcucci. “But we recognize that there are months ahead of us where concert halls and music rooms will still be closed, and musicians and audience will be able to connect most safely on a virtual platform.

“For the sake of the hundreds of talented music students we serve and those that love the music they make, we’ve decided to offer our entire schedule of online Master Classes free of charge, to relieve some of the economic pressures on the viewers and provide a supportive audience for young artists who are working so hard toward the day they can hear the applause again.”

Music students from around the world audition for the prestigious PIMF series, many shifting their schedules to perform in the middle of the night to receive analysis and constructive criticism from one of the world-famous Fabulous Philadelphians on PIMF’s faculty, along with supportive running commentary from viewers in real time. Audience members are also able to pose questions.

All Master Classes take place at 7:00pm EST. The schedule includes the following members of The Philadelphia Orchestra:

November 20th: Jeffrey Lang, Associate Principal Horn
December 11th: Kerri Ryan, Assistant Principal Viola
February 25th: Erina Yashima, Assistant Conductor (all instruments class)
March 25th (2021): Dara Morales, Assistant Principal Second Violin
April 29th: Nathaniel West, Acting Assistant Principal Bass
May 13th: Boris Allakhverdyan, Principal Clarinet, Los Angeles Philharmonic
