Celebrity Series I: Voilà Viola! – Heifetz 2022 Festival of Concerts

Celebrity Series I: Voilà Viola! – Heifetz 2022 Festival of Concerts

Voilà Viola! Our Friday night series of riveting Heifetz faculty concerts begins with a pair of performances featuring the instrument sometimes called the “Cinderella of the Orchestra,” and concludes with the oh-so-charming and sunny String Sextet by composer (and violist!) Antonin Dvořák. “God himself must have been walking the Czech Lands when his humble servant Dvořák bequeathed to us a work of such excellence and sanctity,” in the words of conductor Václav Talich.

A Friday night tradition in Staunton! Experience the world-renowned artistry of our virtuosic Heifetz Institute faculty members in carefully conceived 75-minute programs. Each concert is preceded by a complimenrary Happy Hour under the big Heifetz tent on nearby Page Terrace, designed to showcase the best regional wines and artisan foods. Tonight’s festivities are sponsored by Muse Vineyards, who will be showcasing their Erato (a white blend), Pichet (a red blend) and Rose made from Cabernet Franc.
