133: Hosting a Virtual Summer Festival with kate kayaian

In this conversation, Kate Kayaian and I discuss the Virtual Summer Cello Festival she ran for 7 weeks this summer.

Some of the Logistics include:

• Facebook Group, as bulletin board
• Daily live zoom session lasting 2 – 3 hours
• Daily warm up in the morning
• consistent microphones (everyone has the same hardware) – AKG lyra and had a test/setup day for students
• FB Group “Rooms” for social time

At Summer Festivals, attendees have the opportunity to meet potential future teachers for their music programs at the college level, without summer festivals this year, a whole group of students were going to miss out on that opportunity.
