ABOUT TODAY’S PROGRAMGreetings young people! You think Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a great child prodigy, one of the most amazingly musical kids who ever lived and then he grew up to be one of the greatest composers who ever wrote a note of music?
Well, okay. You're right. But did Wolfy just appear from nowhere? Did he teach himself?
Excuse me, but I am his father and I can tell you that the secret to Wolfy's brilliance was the great teaching of ME, his daddy! I happen to be a violinist and composer, too, you know! And I taught my son from day one that life is music and music is life, that music
is the most important thing in the world (although a good piece of schnitzel is also important.)
Why am I telling you this? Because I can teach anyone to excel in music, even the person sitting next to you in the konzerthalle (concert hall).
I will now reveal three secrets about learning music, and this is stuff no one knows: practice, practice, practice. Did you know that? Those three things may sound the same but they are different. Practice is okay. Practice, practice is better. But Practice, practice, practice is wunderbar!
Musicians always say that if you don't practice for one day, only you know it, but if you don't practice for two days, other musicians know it, and if you don't practice for three days, everyone knows it. But there's more to music than practicing!
Also, you must think about the music, dream about the music, and feel the music in your muscles and bones. If the music is in your ears, your brain, your fingers, your ankles, and your stomach, then you are getting somewhere.
So remember, I taught my son everything about music! And with the Leopold Mozart Method, I will teach, teach, teach until every person out there in the world is a musician! Then, we will have a very lovely planet.

BRUCE ADOLPHE When he was a child Bruce Adolphe watched both Victor Borge and Leonard Bernstein on television, and after seeing them, he began “playing piano” on the breakfast table and cracking jokes with a Danish accent. Having no choice, his parents bought him a toy piano, at which Bruce pretended to be Schroeder of the Peanuts cartoons. Soon after the toy piano was pecked apart by the family parakeet, Bruce’s parents purchased a real piano and a larger bird. By age ten, Bruce was composing music,
and no one has been able to stop him since. As a “tween,” Bruce studied piano, clarinet, guitar, bass, and—as a teen—the bassoon. All this time, he wrote music and improvised accompaniments to everything that happened around him, as if life were a movie in need of a score. His favorite summers were spent at the Kinhaven Music School and he loved his Saturdays at The Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division. Today Bruce spends his time composing chamber music, playing the piano, and performing in concerts for people like you. He lives right around the corner on the Upper West Side with his wife, pianist Marija, his daughter Katja, and his opera-and-jazz-singing parrot PollyRhythm, the same bird he has had since he was 10 years old. Bruce performs weekly on public radio’s Performance Today, playing his Piano Puzzlers (familiar tunes in the styles of the great masters) and you can catch that show on WQXR or on iTunes, or as a podcast from American Public Media. Many great musicians have performed Bruce's music, including Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, the Brentano Quartet, and over 60 symphony orchestras around the world, and of course lots of amazing players right here at The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, where Bruce has been making music since 1992. If you want to check out Bruce's CDs and educational pieces for all ages, please visit the website of The Learning Maestros. You might enjoy his book, The Mind’s Ear: Exercises for Improving the Musical Imagination, published by Oxford University Press.
BRYAN HAYSLETT Bryan Hayslett made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2009 as a first prize winner of the Alexander & Buono International String Competition. He loves to teach and play his cello. Bryan has performed in Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Hartford, Albany, Tampa, Holland, and Jackson, Mississippi. He received his undergraduate degree from The Hartt School of Music and his Master’s degree from The Boston Conservatory and currently is a Ph.D. candaidate at NYU. He is a teaching artist for the Noel
Pointer Foundation and also teaches at NYU. Bryan loves triathlons and practicing yoga in New York City.

MARK HOLLOWAY Mark Holloway started playing the viola in school at the age of eight. While everyone else seemed to pick the violin or the cello, Mark liked the way the name “viola” sounded, so he chose it right away. He also knew it was a bit bigger and deeper than the violin, and was glad that he wouldn’t have to hear a high, screechy E-string under his ear! He first got to study at Boston University, where, in addition to practicing day and night, he took lots of fun classes like Art History and French
Literature. Afterwards, when it was time to concentrate on just music, he went to The Curtis Institute of Music, a wonderful little conservatory in Philadelphia, where he had lessons with some of the best musicians alive, and got to meet and play with people his own age who are now some of his best friends and music partners. Mark loves living in New York City, but he also loves to travel, and music has taken him to great places like Greenland, Chile, Russia, New Jersey, and all over Europe—one of his favorite places to visit. He is known to drop his bow every once in a while when he’s playing, but he is proud to report that he has never dropped his viola, which will soon celebrate its 70th birthday! When he’s not practicing or rehearsing, Mark loves to cook, or read, or read about cooking. He also loves to listen to old-fashioned LP records of the great musicians of the past, which he makes his friends listen to whenever they come over. Mark is a former member of CMS Two.
KATIE HYUN Katie Hyun received a violin as a present from her parents when she was five years old. She went to the Curtis Institute at the age of 14, studying with Aaron Rosand and Pamela Frank. She then went to Stony Brook University to study with Pamela Frank, Philip Setzer, and Ani Kavafian, and continued studying with Ani Kavafian at the Yale School of Music. Next she teamed up with three of her colleagues to form the Amphion String Quartet, a former member of CMS Two. On the side, she
also enjoys playing Baroque violin. Her concert dresses are usually made by her mother, who designs and makes dresses as a hobby. Katie loves to eat, and when she has time, enjoys cooking. She also likes to read, watch popular TV shows, and design things in 3D from paper. Katie makes her home in New York City with her two Roborovski hamsters, Coco and Bibi. They like to eat, sleep, and run around.

MIHAI MARICA Mihai Marica started playing the cello at age seven, moments after receiving a quarter-sized cello as his birthday present. He had asked for it three years earlier according to his father, also a cellist and the inspiration behind Mihai’s desire to become a cellist, but was told that he should “play outside with the other children while he still had the chance.” This turned out to be good advice, as he had to practice intensely even during his first year of study in order to perform a concerto in front of
the orchestra where his father plays. Appearing on the stage of Alice Tully Hall as a member of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS Two program would have been beyond Mihai’s wildest dreams at age 16, when with quite a bit of luck he met Prof. Aldo Parisot, who helped him move to the United States and become a student at the Yale School of Music. In his spare time, Mihai enjoys reading, watching movies, and occasionally taking care of two Roborovski hamsters.
LILA POLLACK Lila Pollack began playing the violin at a very young age and made her solo debut at eight years old. She has performed all over the world in venues including Carnegie Hall, Cadogan Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Bargemusic, Merkin Hall, St. Martin in the Fields, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Kimmel Center, Avery Fisher Hall, Symphony Space, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, and in countries outside the U.S. including Spain, the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Wales, China, and Holland. Lila
studied with Mikhail Kopelman and Charlie Castleman at the Eastman School of Music. Lila kept studying and practicing and received her Master’s Degree from the Royal Academy of Music in London. At the same time, she earned her teaching certificate because she loves teaching music. She currently teaches violin and viola at Avenues: The World School as well as the Noel Pointer Foundation where she also serves as Associate Artistic Director.
ORION WEISS Orion Weiss was born in Iowa City, Iowa, a land full of farms, which is why he has such a corny sense of humor. He started playing the piano at age three and he cried while bowing after his first performance, which was “Mary Had a Little Lamb” in a Suzuki recital. Soon after, he travelled around the world playing concerts without crying, from Iowa to Israel and from Long Island to Japan. A former member of CMS Two, Orion studied with Emanuel Ax at The Juilliard School here in New York,
where they both still live. He loves to watch movies, and he likes voiced consonants, especially the letter “V.”

NOEL POINTER Noel Pointer was a Grammy nominated jazz violinist. He had affection for audiences in inner-city communities, where he loved to perform and bring his unique sounds of jazz. He also greatly enjoyed working with children and families. Noel believed that learning to play a string instrument is a transformative experience that advances children’s lives. In honor of his passing in 1994, Ms. Chinita Pointer established the Noel Pointer Foundation. Through this program, Noel’s legacy of string performance and music education touches the lives of inner-city youth to this day.
THE NOEL POINTER FOUNDATION The Noel Pointer Foundation has a long, fruitful history of customizing music programs for NYC public schools. Since 1998, its In-School String Program, funded by the NYC Department of Education, has served over 30,000 Pre-K through 12th grade public and charter school students. The foundation’s team collaborates with school principals and staff to customize curriculum to meet the needs of each school while adhering to the New York City Department of Education’s Blueprint for Teaching and Learning Music. These classes culminate with the annual Fiddlefest which brings its 27 In-School Programs together for a performance.
The In-Foundation program offers private lessons after school and for violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, and guitar. During the Saturday Strings program, the foundation also offers group technique classes for violin, Roots I and II; 3 level orchestra, Debut, Prelude, and Youth Orchestra; and a Parent and Me class for Pre-Twinklers.

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) is known for the extraordinary quality of its performances, its inspired programming, and for setting the benchmark for chamber music worldwide: no other chamber music organization does more to promote, to educate, and to foster a love of and appreciation for the art form. Whether at its home in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, on leading stages throughout North America, or at prestigious venues in Europe and Asia, CMS brings together the very best international artists from an ever-expanding roster of more than 150 artists per season, to provide audiences with the kind of exhilarating concert experiences that have led to critics calling CMS “an exploding star in the musical firmament” (The Wall Street Journal). Many of these extraordinary performances are livestreamed, broadcast on radio and television, or made available on CD and DVD, reaching thousands of listeners around the globe each season.
Education remains at the heart of CMS’ mission. Demonstrating the belief that the future of chamber music lies in engaging and expanding the audience, CMS has created multi-faceted education and audience development programs to bring chamber music to people from a wide range of backgrounds, ages, and levels of musical knowledge. CMS also believes in fostering and supporting the careers of young artists through the CMS Two program, which provides ongoing performance opportunities to a select number of highly gifted young instrumentalists and ensembles. As this venerable institution approaches its 50th anniversary season in 2020, its commitment to artistic excellence and to serving the art of chamber music, in everything that it does, is stronger than ever.
