In July, violist Emily Feng ’22 performed Beethoven’s String Quartet No.4 with the legendary Itzhak Perlman at the Perlman Music Program in Shelter Island, NY. Mr. Perlman is widely considered the world’s greatest living violinist and was Emily’s childhood idol, so it was the highest honor for her to perform chamber music alongside him.

The Perlman Music Program for aspiring young musicians seeks to immerse students in a nurturing environment that emphasizes connection over competition. The Perlman Music Program is located Shelter Island, a 28-acre estate that overlooks the beach.
