Coaching will be provided by Bay Chamber’s Head of Music Faculty, Gilda Joffe, acclaimed cellist and Next Generation alum Benjamin Noyes, and pianists Patricia Stowell and Anastasia Antonacos, among others.
Additional master classes and workshops will be offered by musicians from the professional concert performances. In 2012, we are pleased to announce that coaches will include world renowned chamber musicians Geoff Nuttall, violin, Chris Costanza, cello (members of the St. Laurence String Quartet), and Livia Sohn, violin.
