Master Classes June 9th, 12th, & 14th 2018 with Mr. Riad Kudsi, Director of National Conservatory - Dubai & Emirates Youth Symphony Orchestra
|
We cannot thank Mr. Riad Kudsi enough for his valuable time for our chamber. Mr. Kudsi studied at the National Conservatory of Prague (full scholarship) from 1970 to 1974 and continued his studies at the Higher Academy of Music where he received a masters of art degree in 1979 with distinction specializing in violin. Since graduation, he performed violin recitals, played as a soloists in many int'l orchestras in Europe and Arab Capitals and pursued a music teaching career in Czech Republic, France, Syria, and finally in U.A.E. In Damascus he formed the Syrian Trio and Syrian Chamber Orchestra and produced many musical programs fro Syrian Radio and Television. Since moving to U.A.E. in 1986, he has been contributing towards the development of the music culture through teaching, practical training through Emirates Youth Symphony Orchestra established in 1993. In 2019, EYSO will celebrate its 25th anniversary which we sincerely congratulate him with our highest respect. Without his prior hard work here in U.A.E., we believe that our own work could have not been recognized. Thus, we are so proud to invite him as our first master class teacher! His mastery skills were appreciated by all our members and it truly showed in our 16th concert how much we improved with his help!!
