We think of master classes as opportunities for aspiring soloists to refine their approach to personally selected repertoire—and Juilliard provides plenty of such invigorating examples. But a new series of master classes at the School is designed to complement the orchestral program, offering players insight into what makes a great orchestral musician, as well as what to expect when auditioning for that first job with a major ensemble. As part of the series, three principals from the Berlin Philharmonic—violist Carrie Dennis, cellist Martin Lohr, and bassist Klaus Stoll—visited Juilliard within days of each other in mid-November to share their wisdom and experience with eager students.
