The
internationally acclaimed violinist and conductor, Pinchas Zukerman,
accepts a limited number of exceptionally gifted violinists and
violists as private students at Manhattan School of Music each year.
This program, under Mr. Zukerman’s supervision, is devoted to the
artistic and technical development of these talented students.
Mr. Zukerman has adjusted his international performance schedule
to permit him to work intensively with students in a number of private
lessons throughout the academic year, including some taught via
videoconferencing. In addition, weekly
lessons are taught to the Zukerman class by Patinka Kopec, who has
been personally selected by Mr. Zukerman to be his sole teaching
associate and the program coordinator.
Applicants from around the world are auditioned either in person or
by videotape by Mr. Zukerman and Ms. Kopec. The class includes three
to ten students, ranging in age from fifteen to young career instrumentalists
as well as traditional-age conservatory students.
