#2515 Behind the Scenes at Virtuoso Strings

Speaker Liz Sneyd

Date Saturday 26th July 10am – 1pm

Venue Waikanae Presbyterian Church Hall, 43 Ngaio Road, Waikanae

Dr Elizabeth Sneyd studied physics and mathematics at Canterbury University and gained a PhD and a minor degree in music in Wisconsin. After returning to NZ, she met her husband Craig while playing in Orchestra Wellington and their joint passion for music led them to establish the Music Learning Centre. In 2013 they founded the Virtuoso Strings Charitable Trust for families unable to afford music lessons and have been offering free music tuition to young people ever since.

Liz will talk about their life behind the scenes. She says: “There have been enough dramatic, heartbreaking and heartwarming moments to fill several novels.”  In this seminar she will paint a vivid picture of Virtuoso Strings and present a fascinating collection of vignettes which challenge stereotypes and highlight the complexity of reducing inequity of opportunity and education in New Zealand.
