We’re coming to you LIVE from the 2024 Ravinia Steans Music Institute (RSMI) for a special masterclass with the Takács Quartet.
RSMI’s Program for Piano & Strings concentrates on interpretation and small-group collaboration through the practice and performance of classical sonata and chamber repertoire. Up to 35 violinists, violists, cellists, pianists, and members of pre-existing chamber groups gather for five weeks of immersive and intensive rehearsals and coachings with a rotating roster of some of the world’s finest teaching artists.
You can learn more about the festival through an exclusive interview with former Artistic Director Miriam Fried here.
