STUDENT STRINGS
This program provides an opportunity for middle and high school string players to work with members of Caramoor's Ernst Stiefel Quartet -in-Residence during both the fall and spring semesters.
"Since our trip to Caramoor, I have been making an extra effort to practice
my violin every day for as long as I can. The music the quartet played was music from the heart, and I hope that one day my music can be just as moving.
