Violinist Gloria Ferry-Brennan of Langley will participating in Juilliard’s Starling-DeLay Symposium.

Juilliard selected 10 exceptional student artists to participate in this summer’s Starling-DeLay Symposium for Violin Studies at The Juilliard School at Lincoln Center in New York City.

The symposium, which will be held from Tuesday, May 28 to June 1, features five days of master classes, recitals, lectures, and pedagogy sessions and provides many opportunities for participants to observe and explore how to nurture and develop the exceptional student artist.

The Starling-DeLay Symposium, held at Juilliard every other season, focuses on the methods and philosophy developed by legendary Juilliard pedagogue Dorothy DeLay, who established the first symposium in 2001.

Each year, alumni of her teaching studio, this year including Brian Lewis and Itzhak Perlman, participate as symposium faculty and recitalists.
