Mini-Residency

About

NMS Mini-Residencies allow students a unique opportunity to work directly with world-class artists in a condensed format. These musicians perform regularly in renowned performance venues, such as Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and at Symphony Center in Chicago.

Each mini-residency can provide students with the following: private lesson(s), a masterclass, a performance opportunity, discussion and Q&A with the artist. Students wishing to participate are required to submit an application, found below, listing the work they wish to study during the residency.

Andrew Sords, violin

American violinist Andrew Sords maintains a prolific touring schedule with his piano trio and as soloist with orchestras. Having appeared on four continents and in nearly all of the 50 states, his performances have been cited for combining visceral virtuosity and ravishing tone, while international critics have endorsed Sords as “a fully formed artist” (Kalisz-Poland News), “utterly radiant” (Canada’s Arts Forum), and “exceptionally heartfelt and soulful” (St. Maarten’s Daily Herald).
