Gabe Bolkosky chats with Peter Salaff, Annie Fullard, and Mari Sato
Peter Salaff, Annie Fullard, and Mari Sato, Cleveland Institute of Music professors and long-time Phest faculty members, recently took time out of their busy schedules to talk with Gabe about PhoenixPhest.
Terry Durbin is returning to PhoenixPhest! He'll be giving masterclasses as well as teaching at the Suzuki workshop. Masterclasses are open to the public, not just registered workshop students. They are suitable for violinists of all ages and levels, Suzuki and beyond.
