Hoff-Barthelson Master Class With Jerry Grossman

(In person only) Scarsdale Public Library, in partnership with Hoff-Barthelson Music School presents cellist Jerry Grossman.

Master classes are an enlightening experience for students and audiences alike. After months of careful preparation,
students perform for, and then receive feedback and guidance from a master teacher who challenges the student to think in
new and critical ways about the piece they’ve prepared.

Jerry Grossman has been the principal cellist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra since 1986. He has appeared in recital, and with symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout the United States. His highly acclaimed New York debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was followed by the American premiere of Kurt Weill’s 1920 Cello Sonata, leading to recording that work, as well as works by Dohnanyi, Prokofiev, Bartok, and Kodaly for Nonesuch Records. He has appeared as soloist in Carnegie Hall and on domestic and European tours with the Met Orchestra playing Don Quixote by Richard Strauss. The performance has also been recorded for Deutsche Gramophone.
