Heartland Chamber Music Festival Concerts
August 1, 2021 - August 7, 2021 | Yardley Hall
Past Event
Each summer, pianists and string players ages 12-30 audition and are selected to work one-on-one with internationally renowned faculty. They cap their experience by performing in Yardley Hall.
This year, special guest faculty include Frank Huang, concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic, and Jason Seber, associate conductor of the Kansas City Symphony. The festival’s 2021 artist-in-residence is the award-winning Rolston Quartet, who will perform Wednesday, August 4, at 7 p.m.
This year eight gifted young student artists have been selected to participate in the Festival Scholars program, where students are awarded a full-scholarship to receive intensive quartet coaching from the festival’s world-renown faculty artists. Twenty-five festival students have also been selected to perform in the Camerata Chamber Orchestra, a conductor-less ensemble. The performances of the two Festival Scholars quartets and the Camerata Chamber Orchestra will be featured and broadcast on Kansas Public Radio during the festival!
The concerts are free, but a reservation is required. If you plan to attend, please call the Box Office (913) 469-4445 to make your reservation. Except for the Rolston String Quartet performance, online sales will not be available for these concerts.
