What is the Max Aronoff
Viola Institute Festival? Now in its 23rd year, the MAVI Festival
is an inspiring musical experience in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! Open
to violists age 14 through adult, the MAVI Festival schedule is packed with
an interesting variety of classes. The festival is designed for advanced and
intermediate violists, including students, enthusiastic amateurs, teachers
and professionals who want to refresh their skills. The low
participant-faculty ratio ensures a personalized course of study. Faculty
concerts feature some of the northwest’s finest artists and repertoire of
significance to violists. Tuition includes admission to all concerts and
classes. Scholarships are
available. Facility Information The MAVI Festival is held on
the beautiful campus of Bastyr University, just
northeast of Seattle and adjacent to a state park. These quiet surroundings
provide inspiration for intense work and access to many recreational
opportunities including Lake Washington beach, hiking and easy walking
trails. Participants may stay at Bastyr or commute.
The dormitory, chapel and classrooms are accessible to all persons. Download
the brochure and application. Application deadline is May 15, 2013. At
the MAVI Festival we encourage all levels of violists age 14 through adult to
develop their skills to the highest level possible. Scholarships are
available; information is on the application. Here are some of the things we do NOT do at MAVI: Contradict
technical instruction of any private teacher Solicit
private students for our faculty Recruit
for any college or school Musicians
who come to MAVI are presented with many approaches to playing by our
faculty. We encourage everyone to consider new ideas and to notice the
diversity of suggestions they receive. Participants leave our Festival with
inspiration to study and practice harder, and with an increased respect for
themselves as artists. We sincerely hope that you will join us for the
2013 MAVI festival. Thorbeck Adjudication
