This is the eighth edition of the event and the program has become one of the most popular in the state for serious string and piano students. It is modeled after the famed Music Menlo Chamber Music Institute and is an intensive five-day program designed for immersion in the art of chamber music.

Zalkind holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Juilliard School of Music and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Michigan. A Salt Lake City native, Zalkind has performed throughout the United States and abroad as a recitalist, soloist and chamber musician. He has performed with the Moscow Chamber Players, the Albany Symphony, the Hongzhou Philharmonic, the Utah Symphony, the Tongyeong International Music Festival Orchestra, the Music Academy of the West Festival Orchestra and the Juilliard Symphony Orchestra.
