Attention Bach buffs, Shostakovich stans and Debussy devotees!
Head over to Grant Park and you can catch free classical concerts all summer long. But this isn’t just an exciting opportunity to revel in the music, it’s a chance for up-and-coming orchestral musicians and singers to be a part of the action through the Festival String and Vocal Fellowship. Reset sits down with two fellowship participants: violinist Maria Gabriela Mendez Martinez and violist Joshua Thaver. We also hear from fellowship manager Amelia Sie.
