During SummerFest 2011, audiences are invited to follow the artistic growth of this year’s Fellowship Artists – The Old City String Quartet: Bryan Lee and Joel Link, violins; Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, viola; Camden Shaw, cello and the Éclat Quartet: Sonja Harasim and Xiaoxiao Qiang, violins; Zachary Carrettin, viola; Lachezar Kostov, cello. On August 5, 12, 18 and 19 SummerFest performers will coach young local musicians from the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory.
