Back in 2026

Join violinist Ann Miller and violinist/violist Igor Veligan for a motivating week of music making at University of the Pacific's Conservatory of Music. Enhance your violin and viola techniques while connecting with fellow musicians! 

Participants will receive two private lessons, attend daily master classes and learn about effective practicing, healthy playing, ensemble performance and more. For a perfect balance of learning and enjoyment, in the evenings we will offer fun activities such as swimming and an ice cream social. The week will wrap up with a celebratory concert including all participants.
