Perlman Program Grant
The Summer Music School offers seven-week residencies to gifted young players
The Perlman Music Program, which holds its Summer Music School on Shelter Island, has received an Art Works award of $50,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the school.
The Summer Music School offers seven-week residencies to gifted young players, ages 12 to 18, of violin, viola, cello, and bass instruments. Under the direction of Toby and Itzhak Perlman, the school also brings professional string musicians from around the world to mentor and coach the students, who have performance opportunities, private lessons, ensemble rehearsals, and time for individual practice.
