Artist Connections

Artist Connections extends unparalleled access to world-class artists for students from the elementary through conservatory levels, and beyond. Master classes, lecture-demonstrations and interactive workshops provide opportunities for students to interact with and learn from Celebrity Series artists in intimate settings, while post-performance artist talks offer our audiences the opportunity to connect directly with the artists in a question and answer format.
