The Mason String Intensive is designed for intermediate and advanced violin, viola, and cello players to help develop the skills needed to become dynamic soloists and chamber musicians. Led by Dewberry School of Music faculty, guest artists, and current George Mason string pedagogy students, the sessions will cover technical proficiency, audition preparation, and effective practice strategies. Participants will also explore tools for fostering collaboration and promoting wellness within ensemble settings. All participants will have the opportunity to perform both as soloists and in chamber groups in a George Mason performance venue.
