Residencies and Masterclasses

🎻 Residency and Enrichment Programs at FAC (2025–2026)

At the Fine Arts Center, we are proud to offer our students enriching opportunities to work with world-class musicians through our Residency and Masterclass Programs. These experiences help deepen musical understanding, broaden artistic perspectives, and inspire the next generation of performers.

Residency Programs
Internationally recognized ensembles and soloists spend a week with our students, engaging them in intensive rehearsals, workshops, and masterclasses. These artists often collaborate in performance with the students and present concerts for the FAC community.
Special thanks to the Peace Center and John and Jackie Warner for their generous sponsorship of these residencies.

Masterclasses
Throughout the year, professional performers and educators visit the FAC to offer one-day masterclasses and performances. These sessions allow students to receive high-level feedback and insights from active members of the national and regional music communities.

FAC Alumni Engagement
Former FAC students frequently return to share their experiences, perform, and mentor current students. Their visits provide valuable perspective and inspiration as they reflect on their own journeys beyond the FAC.

2025–2026 Proposed Guest Artists and Ensembles:

• Professor Hal Grossman (University of Oregon, violin)
  
  

• Cavani String Quartet
  
  

• Jasper String Quartet
  
  

We are incredibly grateful for these ongoing partnerships and for the generosity of our community, which makes these experiences possible.
