Beginning at 8:30 a.m. four members of the 10-man faculty begin teaching master classes in different spots on campus as the two-week Festival gets fully underway. Actual beginning of the Festival was Friday evening when students from 13 different states plus Canada and Mexico registered and met with the faculty and were divided into ensemble groups. Saturday and Sunday were continued days of ensemble rehearsals with some faculty coaching plus the concert Saturday evening featuring pianist Leonid Hambro and the New College String Quartet. Classes, rehearsals, and individual practice sessions go on all this week from early morning until late evening, a pattern that will be broken by three significant events. On Wednesday evening, Festival students will offer their first concert at 8:30 in College Hall on the West Campus. This represents a change from the traditional Saturday morning time for these events in past years. more PAGE 2 NEW COLLEGE Page 2 Friday night in Hamilton Center the second of the faculty concerts will be held at 8:30 featuring five of the musicians as soloists together with the New College String Quartet and the Festival Chamber Orchestra.
