For one week at the end of June, I got to attend the Decoda Chamber Music Festival for a second time. I played some great music by Kodaly with ._________________, Clara Schumann with and Ryan Jia, and with several other DCMF artists. Thanks to , , , , and for the coaching and guidance in learning this music and community engagement. It was lovely spending a week in the mountains and connecting with some wonderful musicians. 🌳🎶

Heard that this concerto was found a couple of years ago. Can't wait to actually hear it one day soon!

VC Artist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky will perform the concerto, which until recently was held in a library at The Juilliard School.

Loved reading this article from The Strad about geared pegs! I currently have Pegheds made by Chuck Herin (who happens to be based just outside of Columbia, SC) installed on my violin, and it has made a huge positive difference in my ability to tune. Check out the article and Pegheds! https://www.pegheds.com/

Geared pegs have their advocates and detractors but, as Tom Stewart finds out, the innovation has benefits for a broad range of players, from young students to seasoned professionals
