In 2009, the fifth Starling-DeLay Symposium on Violin Studies continued the legacy of learning fostered by the late renowned teacher, Dorothy DeLay. Held at Juilliard, the Symposium consisted of five days of master classes by Itzhak Perlman, Joel Smirnoff, David Kim, Paul Kantor and Chee-Yun;recitals by Joel Smirnoff and Joan Kwuon and Chee-Yun;and lecture and pedagogy sessions taught by Brian Lewis,Dr. Robert Duke,Monica Huggett and Don Greene.
Participation is offered at one of two levels: Young Artist or Participant
Young Artists (age 25 and under) are selected as performing students for the Symposium. Up to 15 violinists are accepted as Young Artists to perform in public master classes and are featured in public performance on selected evening recitals in Paul Hall. Young Artists also observe other activities throughout the Symposium.
To audition for the Young Artists program, applicants must submit an unedited CD or DVD (preferred) with the following repertoire:
- one movement from an unaccompanied sonata or partita by Bach
- a movement from any concerto in the standard repertoire
- one Paganini caprice
- one virtuosic show piece (by Sarasate, Wieniawski, Kreisler, etc.).
Submitted CDs and DVDs should be marked clearly with the performer's name and repertoire. Two letters of recommendation are also required; one letter must be from the applicant's primary violin teacher.
Participants accepted to the Symposium observe all master classes, attend recitals and lectures, and participate in pedagogy sessions.
