Dear Students,

Welcome back to the Green Valley Chamber Music Festival!

As Las Vegas grows, so does our classical music community. While the city attracts musical talent and entertainment from all over the world, it is imperative for us as a community to nourish and nurture our own young musicians in a healthy, creative, and competitive environment. Green Valley Chamber Music Festival is serving this mission and has become an important component of music culture and education in our community. 

I am honored to continue the collaboration with our outstanding faculty.  

Our pianists will be Damaris Alvarez and Mykola Suk. Also, I am pleased to welcome back our violin teachers, Shakeh Ghoukasian and Mary Straub, as well as our cellist, Andrew Smith.

We strive to make your time spent at GVCMF efficient and productive. This year, there will be more time dedicated to individual coaching and chamber music rehearsals. There will be many opportunities for you to perform and collaborate with our outstanding faculty both in chamber music and string orchestra concerts.

This is the fifth year of the Green Valley Chamber Music Festival. The Faculty and I are looking forward to your participation in the 2010 season.

Sincerely,

Taras Krysa
