Description:
The Stony Brook International Piano Festival in honor of Jorge Bolet is a unique program designed for middle and high-school students who are serious about piano study, and who might be considering majoring in piano performance at the college level. Designed to foster the highest excellence in piano playing, this intensive program will be set on the beautiful campus of one of the most prestigious college preparatory school in the northeast, The Stony Brook School, the same school from which legendary pianist Jorge Bolet received a post graduate diploma in 1934. Bolet retained a close relationship with The Stony Brook School throughout his life, returning frequently to the school's Carson Auditorium to play solo recitals. Only fifty miles from New York City, the peaceful campus is an ideal setting for focused learning, while retaining all the benefits of the rich musical culture of city, only a train ride away. During this two-week program, students will benefit from private instruction from Artist Faculty Members, the opportunity to play in a public master class by a Guest Artist, and several performance opportunities, including a recital at Carson Auditorium, an outreach concert at the Sunrise Assisted Living Facility in Setauket, and a final concert performance at New York City's Steinway Hall. Each week, every student will receive two or three one-hour private lessons and will be supervised during daily practice. Other musical opportunities will be offered, such as concerts by guest performers, lectures on topics related to piano playing, and miniature courses on subjects such as music theory, piano literature, and practice methods. Recreational activities, including a trip to a concert in New York City, an outing to the Port Jefferson Harbor, and a trip to Stony Brook's historic Village will also be part of these exciting two weeks.
