Alisa Weilerstein, Stefan Jackiw, Yura Lee and Paul Watkins are among the distinguished string players from the 2024 La Jolla Music Society SummerFest whose performances are now being featured free of charge on the LJMS YouTube channel
La Jolla Music Society is now offering free access to video highlights from its 2024 SummerFest chamber music festival. The performances can be viewed free of charge via the LJMS YouTube channel and on the society’s website in its Digital Concert Hall. These selections are distinct from the offerings currently available on the global streaming platform medici.tv.
Captured and edited by New York-based performing arts cinematographer Tristan Cook, the featured string-related performances currently available include Beethoven’s ’Archduke’ Piano Trio, Brahms’s String Sextet No. 1, Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings, Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending and Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet in F-sharp Minor (with New York Philharmonic principal clarinettist Anthony McGill).
The videos showcase such celebrated string musicians as Alisa Weilerstein, Stefan Jackiw, Yura Lee, Simone Porter, Jack Liebeck, Jonathan Vinocour and Paul Watkins.
In addition, LJMS has just announced the launch of a new partnership with the prestigious international arts network medici.tv. Three other concerts from SummerFest 2024 started airing in October. Beginning this year, SummerFest and the Aspen Music Festival are the first music festivals in the United States to be aired on medici.tv.
