Violinist David Chan will be giving a virtual masterclass as part of a collaboration between Lessonface and MET Orchestra Musicians
Lessonface, the online music school, has teamed up with the MET Orchestra Musicians for a virtual masterclass with violinist David Chan - concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera - on 23 April beginning at 8 pm EDT (1 am GMT).
This masterclass is the culmination of an ongoing series of 20 free live online masterclasses since August 2020 with MET Orchestra Musicians providing live coaching to selected advanced-level students performing live from their locations in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
Advanced violinists who wish to take part in the masterclass with David Chan may apply for a performer spot before 1 April. Meanwhile, musicians of all levels and classical music fans may view the live interaction over Zoom.
Viewers may also submit questions ahead of time for the MET Orchestra panelists to address in the live sessions. The sessions are recorded and made available for later viewing on Lessonface.
