SANTA MARIA — Acclaimed violinist and Festival Mozaic Music Director Scott Yoo is hosting a free masterclass for a select group of Allan Hancock College music students, and the public is invited to watch.
Yoo will conduct this free, public masterclass on Feb. 24 from 10 a.m.- 12 p.m. at the Boyd Concert Hall (bldg. F) on the college’s Santa Maria campus. Members of the public can sit in on the class and watch as Yoo works with Hancock music students Olga Arutyunyan, Amelie Loya, Jorge Arturo Perez, Daniel Moreno and Andrew Genge.?The master class is sponsored by the Allan Hancock College Foundation.
“This masterclass gives the students a chance to perform and receive instant feedback from a professional musician on their performance,” said Hancock music professor Nichole Dechaine. “The students will have access to a professional musician with whom they might not regularly have the opportunity to study under, and the audience can learn as much as the performers.”
Tickets to watch the masterclass are free, but space is limited. Members of the community can reserve their tickets on the Festival Mozaic website at www.festivalmozaic.org/scott-yoo-class.
Yoo is the Music Director of Festival Mozaic, and Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Mexico City Philharmonic.?He is also the host and executive producer of the PBS miniseries Now Hear This, the first series about classical music on American prime-time TV in 50 years.
“Teaching masterclasses to young musicians is crucial. It’s not just about skills, but also about instilling passion and a love for classical music,” said Yoo. “Through live performance experiences, they gain essential stage presence that allows them to build confidence and grow in any career they may pursue.”
Following the masterclass at Hancock, Yoo will perform at the Harold J. Miossi Cultural and Performing Arts Center at Cuesta College on Feb. 25.
Festival Mozaic hosts more than 30 events each year including a two-week summer festival and a year-round chamber music and presenting series and maintains a vibrant virtual presence. The Festival emphasizes offering performances in unique Central Coast venues, including historic and outdoor venues, as well as contemporary concert halls.
