The Young Strings Programme:
The JMC’s Young Strings Programme works with a young group of approximately 50 string players, between the ages of 11 and 14, in preparation for future studies at a more advanced level at the JMC.
The programme is directed by Sergei Bresler (violinist from the acclaimed Jerusalem Quartet), and comprises chamber music coaching during the year and residential courses during the four significant school breaks throughout the year (Sukkoth, Hannukah, Passover and the Summer vacations), alongside a number of residential workshops in between. These meetings therefore focus on general issues, including: how to practice, gaining performance experience on stage and in front of peers, meeting with accomplished string players and other famous musicians, and other topics that broaden the students’ musical horizons. In between such meetings, students receive regular and ongoing enrichment studies in music theory and history.
Alongside direct learning, the programme enables students to hear one another and observe each other’s progress, which is an essential tool in their evaluations of their own progress, helping to highlight areas for improvement. They also provide a supportive environment in which these young musicians, who spend much of their time alone practicing, can come together with like-minded peers and share their experiences.
The Jerusalem Music Centre (JMC):
The JMC was founded in 1973 by legendary violinist Isaac Stern and Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, with the assistance of Yad Hanadiv (a Rothschild foundation) and the Jerusalem Foundation. The JMC’s purpose was to provide a musical centre that would find and nurture the finest musical talents from all over Israel, and today, as a result of more than 40 years of work, many such talents can be heard performing on prominent concert stages across the world.
Today, headed by renowned pianist Murray Perahia, the JMC continues to imbue each successive generation of young Israeli musicians with the very same love, passion, and respect for their art shared by their predecessors, and indeed by great musicians throughout the centuries.
Our Purpose:
To find, nurture and promote outstanding young musicians from throughout Israel, providing them with uniquely tailored programmes that hone their skills both as soloists, and as ensemble and orchestral players.
To support the musical and pedagogical development of instrumental teachers across the country, bringing them into contact with the world’s leading musicians and musical pedagogues.
To provide a musical centre of global stature at the heart of Israel’s capital, enriching the city and its residents through its world-class concert series.
Our Vision:
Music has the ability to touch so uniquely and directly upon the very essence of human experience. To gain true, authentic mastery of its performance is a lifelong journey that, over and above innate ability, requires commitment, dedication, and humility.
The JMC seeks out those extraordinary young Israelis who wish to, and are capable of embarking upon this journey with us. Around such individuals, we create a musical community of peers and great masters that nurtures, supports and challenges them throughout their formative years and beyond; a community that is there again and again to encourage and remind these budding artists that there is always more to be understood, experienced, and communicated through the language of music.
Through this process of musical contact, these youngsters develop from promising talents into true musicians, who make artistic and interpretative choices knowingly and authentically, as part of an ongoing search for meaning and honest communication in music.
