The Music Makers’ Foundation, School of Groove, and Boston String Quartet are proud to present the 2010/2011 Xibus Tour, which will be taking place in cities throughout the United States. Tour dates and venues are now available.
The 2010/2011 Xibus Tour will feature The Boston String Quartet and Selected Guest Artists. Learn more about the participating musicians.
The tour is designed as an interactive learning experience
for college and high school music students.
The Xibus College Tour is a one day residency during which the quartet will work with members of the string program in workshops, masterclasses, discussions, rehearsals, and a solo recital by the Boston String Quartet.
The Xibus High School Tour will feature the talents of the respective symphony orchestras of sixteen high schools throughout the United States. Partnering with internationally acclaimed artists, students will engage in one full day of classes and workshops, and a second day consisting of intensive rehearsals, culminating in an evening performance. Students will participate in music ranging in style from Led Zeppelin to Ennio Morricone, from Celtic to jazz, and more. This opportunity is provided to students at no cost by the Music Makers’ Foundation, and our corporate sponsors and donors, and is an effort to support live music and K-12 music education in the communities visited by introducing audiences to new music, and by providing outstanding performance opportunities to young artists and students.
