There is no event quite like it …our Grand Finale is an extraordinary evening of music and community as our final concert of the season represents an all-star gathering of our faculty and every one of our Heifetz Institute students in a rousing concert brimming with fire, passion, and virtuosity. It’s then followed by our Farewell Toast, where students, faculty, and audience members raise a glass together for a poignant and uniquely Staunton summer ritual.
