Suzuki Play-In

Come make music with us! We invite you to play side-by-side with Juilliard cellist and grown Suzuki kid Amy Sue Barston, celebrated concert pianist Audrey Andrist, and world-renowned violin professor and grown Suzuki kid Katie Lansdale. Violinists and cellists of all ages and levels will gather together to joyfully and spontaneously perform favorites from the beloved Suzuki repertoire. Aptly called the “Mother Tongue” method, the Suzuki philosophy treats music like a language, with each student building their musical “vocabulary” with the same pieces. Students at a Suzuki event are never really strangers, as they all know the same music; children from all over the world can play together and bond instantly, even if they have never met and come from vastly different backgrounds.
